Because their high level donors tell them too:hhh:
:dahell: tell them to what? not vote for a democrat, their own party, to replace a supreme court justice?

your contention is that manchin and sinema will leave the seat open for 3 years? :laff:
The same reasons they blocked BBB and voting rights. :yeshrug:

Either someone is paying them to, or because they aren't really Democrats and just want to help the GOP.
they didnt "block voting rights". they refused to blow up the filibuster, because there's a very real chance that the republicans control all 3 branches of government in under 3 years :dead: i would think you understand that. and given most of the discourse in here, you would have a healthy fear of that

and what exactly is the correlation between not signing onto a massive spending bill in the middle of high inflation, and refusing to seat your own party's supreme court justice? :mindblown:

you have to break out of this mindset that anyone to the right of bernie sanders isn't a real democrat :mjlol:

No, they could've easily carved out an exception just for voting rights and chose not to, while they were fine with doing it for the debt ceiling.

They didn't do it to protect Democrats in case the GOP takes over, they did it because they simply don't want to pass voting rights legislation and never did. You can be in denial if you want but it's clear. :yeshrug:


And all Manchin and Sinema have to do is not fill the position until the GOP wins the Senate this year, and at that point Mitch can just block it until Biden appoints someone he likes.
