Like it or not @USProgressives aren't going to change the views of Sinema or Manchin and Democrats need their votes to get anything done. Work with them and get something to tout and build on for 2022 instead of trying to leverage them, doing nothing for Americans. Govern.
The first step in governance is to pass the #IIJA immediately instead of having the Senate GOP get to decide when @USDOT workers go back to work and/or get paid. Then focus on reconciliation as Manchin and Sinema still will pass something there, just not $3.5 trillion.
Going back to your district with a message of "look what I got you" is a much better place to be than having done nothing and trying to blame others for it. Americans are sick of the latter and will vote accordingly. Show that Congress works.
If you get sent to Congress and didn't do anything but "hold the line" and blocked things that could help people because it wasn't exactly what you wanted, then why would people send you back or vote for more people like you? What are they gaining?
