    Progressives want this. Donors don’t. It stands no chance of passing. If Democrats win back the house and retain control of the senate, we’ll get to see who rotates in to replace Manchin as the only Democrat whose voice matters.

      Your pessimism knows no bounds. It completely depends on voter turnout. If Biden loses, it’ll be due to abstentions. Those abstentions would have massive down-ballot consequences with the entire House and a third of the Senate up for grabs.

      Vote in November, or be ready to accept what Republicans decide for our nation.

        Oh good. We’re pretending proposals are accomplishments again.

        Vote in November, or be ready to accept what Republicans decide for our nation.

        I intend to vote for Biden in November. That will not stop Republicans from deciding, since Democrats keep adopting their policies, like they have with immigration.
