Manchin and Sinema are the two worst people in government.

At least Republicans believe in something other than person enrichment.

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.

The filibuster needs to be an actual standing filibuster where they get up and speak.
The filibuster doesn’t need to be anything but non-existent.

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.

I know you absolutely can’t get anything substantial through the Senate with the unconstitutional rules currently in place. The absolute best you can do is a half assed bill that protects abortions in certain circumstances on Wednesday’s after a 9 month waiting period.

Handing over half assed measures to a blue ribbon committee just defuses the issue (because look how reasonable those good Republicans are being) and rewards the bad faith actors that are stopping you from doing anything.
