(#4652) No human infrastructure bill yesterday

      I refuse to believe my own doubts that the manchinema is only dragging this out to kill it. That is a republican tactic and although very successful for their republican agenda it is a death knell to American democracy and the working middle poor class. I refuse to accept that reality because the manchinema only needed to switch parties if that was their agenda. They didn't and still vote yes for all the other democratic agenda items. So it is down to their egos within the policy offerings and that has been the confounding part. They are not the final arbiters of what our society is demanding, President Biden and Vice President Harris are.
     We the people voted in 2020 to give our president that mandate to accomplish and it is up to them to decide how it is produced, not the manchinema! There will be a cost to pay for the manchinema for what they have and are still doing to us but we democrats will not mete out that payment until the time is right and advantageous for us, not them. As a solution to the manchinema going forward we democrats have one clear way of solving it. In about 12 months time we organize our voters so that there is no doubt to what must be done. Elect at least 2 but more likely 3 or more senators to the senate. As well add to our numbers in the house.
     Adding members to both the senate and house will not be easy but if our voters come out and vote everywhere in 2022 it damn will come about. With at least 52 senators in the senate after next years elections the filibuster will likely become a thing of the past, no matter how the manchinema votes. Overcoming the manchinema is our goal and it is easily done by adding two progressive leaning senators. Then the adding of DC as a state will automatically give us 2 more senators to help buttress our already solid majority. The house will be ready to advance all the bills that are currently being stalled by the manchinema and our society will truly be representative of our populace.
