This is good. Voters also have a role to play here. You should be calling your Senators & your Representatives. Even if your Senator is not Manchin or Sinema, an influx of support across the board could show that the bill is popular. I really encourage everyone to fight for this.

Please don't be apathetic about the biggest proposed expansion of the safety net since the 1960's. If it passes, we can then move on to do even more progressive things. If it flops, we will not be able to do that & Democrats may be incentivized to propose less, not more.
I have heard for *years* about how we need to transform our society. Some called this "socialism" others called it "more social democracy" but, regardless, it's something many claimed to be passionate about. Now that we are taking a step in that direction, folks are like, "meh"
What were we fighting about during the entire Democratic primary? It was the primary of PLANS. One candidate released one plan after another and we were like WOW look at this vision. Now that some aspects of these plans are actually being proposed, I hear nary a peep about it
