While I am against the filibuster, myself, I haven't really been disparaging of Sinema and Manchin. I grumble about them, sure. As an Appalachian descendant of the OG rednecks I even feel like he is doing a disservice to his constituents (not just on this issue, but on many others). All of that being said, I am never one for toeing the party line. I'm a lefty, but very much not a Democrat. In the end, principles are all we have. People call me an ideologue sometimes for this, and that may be so. Anyway, if you can't make the vote happen there are many failures that had to take place. The Democrats should have been making their case well enough that they didn't have to rely on their slim margins.
