    You’re ignoring that 2 independents caucus with Democrats. It’s dishonest to exclude them. But you’re splitting hairs because it’s convenient for your excuses.

      Two independents from conservative states that barely align with democrats. Why do you handwave this away so easily???

        One of the independents is Bernie Sanders.

        Manchin and Sinema were both capital-D Democrats at the time they did everything you wanted.

        THEY DID. Unlike Manchin and Sinema, independents caucused with the party.

        The Democratic caucus had 50 seats. We gave them the seats. They used them like you wanted.

          I am talking about Sinema and Manchin only. They may have had a D next to their name, but they were not on the side of Democrats when it mattered.

            And we gave Democrats those seats.

            Lying and saying that we only gave Democrats 48 just because 2 of them did everything you wanted doesn’t mean that we didn’t give Democrats what they needed.
