(#4744) manchin and sinema had better get on board with Build Back Better!

      That manchin and sinema are now dead albatrosses around the neck of democrats the only way they can begin to remove themselves is to come to an agreement on the human infrastructure bill. They will always have that dirty dead bird smell to them but just how potent it is, is up to them. For the rest of us in the United States and around the world the need for climate provisions and child care actions are crucial. So maybe the two turncoats will have an awakening given they are both pariahs now and need some semblance of reconciliation with democrats going forward.
     The right to vote legislation is still an option in a different form but that may be too much to ask but ask we surely will but the human infrastructure bill is within reach and ready to go if brutus and mata hari can firnd their allegiance to the democratic party. I won't hold my breath over this as it took some real treachery for them to initially deny democracy a fighting chance plus their callous outlook on the working middle poor class. But hope does spring eternal and with at least sinema knowing that for now she has no shot at returning to the senate in 2024, if not otherwise already geared for a private position, may have to think long and hard about her future in public as a democrat.
     The next few weeks should give us some indication about what may still be salvageable out of voting rights protections and the human infrastructure bill. I expect there won't be any public displays of back and forth negotiating like last time and if an agreement is made, it will be done previous to any announcement. Those working the back channels now I hope are doing their best to make the two traitors to democracy understand that they are only digging a deeper hole by not working with democrats to make our society better. Their allegiance to the republican party through default is a disaster for them and a disaster for all the rest of us who love our democracy and want our citizens to have the best path forward in our pursuit of happiness.
