Just looked at it.

Calling it a rebuke is pretty strong, considering that according to staff emails, the suggested edit was "While we hope Senator Sinema will change her position on prescription drug reform and support a major reconciliation bill . . ."

That is pretty damn mild. It's not even really a rebuke. It's a gentle statement of 'Well we hope she comes around eventually'.

But, the usual suspects are jumping all over it.

Good. This was harassment for sure, but signing a condemnation of it is giving Sinema a victory she doesn’t deserve. It feels weird arguing for the Bernie bros, but party unity is a two way street.

Yup. After the primaries, it was time for the left to get behind Biden and now it’s time for the center to do the same.

I do find it hilarious that despite certain people (not naming names, but you know who they are) insisting that progressives are the Democrats' number one enemy, they've been the reliable votes for Biden's agenda while the fabled moderates have been doing everything they can to sabotage it
