Good Lord, at this point no one should be surprised, much less upset.  They're not changing for anything.

It’s easier for certain people to continue throwing tantrums than it is to admit defeat and start trying something else.

There is literally nothing that can be done.
The legislative branch is in complete paralysis because two cheap whores got paid to put it there. He can’t make laws by fiat.

Democrats could put up bills to protect abortions for reasons of the mother’s life, for rape, for incest, up to 12 weeks, up to 16 weeks, etc that would all get unanimous support from Democrats and split the Republicans. I don’t know if you’d get 60 votes, but it’s at least worth trying, and unlike what they are currently doing, it would unite the Democrats rather than encouraging more endless intraparty squabbling.

Yeah, I mean the fact of the matter is that Manchin and Sinema have been saying this since January 2021. And a lot of us thought they might eventually budge, but by now it should be abundantly clear to everyone that they are not going to. So please come up with a plan besides yelling at them some more!
