OK. I hear you. I truly do.

So let's be "tougher" and get rid of Manchin and Sinema. Watch what happens when Republicans take back the Senate Majority Leadership the day after.

Then we can feel pure, and throw air punches at James Carville, Biden and Barack Obama as the boxing referee counts to ten.

People can then further blame the moderates for being weak, while I will be fighting forward for a 2024 majority.

Democracy at its best is FRUSTRATING and we might get some mud on our pants but it's better than alternative systems that go to "blood and soil", Monarchy, Theocrats -- or (tempting) might-makes-right dictators.

Would anything really be different today

If Al Franken were still a senator then there would be at least one Democrat who is not older than Methuselah who might run for the Presidency.
