Manchin and Sinema think their pursuit of bipartisanship is admirable. It’s not.

Pursuing bipartisanship knowing it’s headed for a dangerous dead end is hardly admirable.

That’s what makes Wednesday’s charade all the more frustrating. With time running out on the opportunity to pass voting rights legislation, the Democratic base doesn’t need performative votes to message the party’s support for democracy — the Democratic base needs actual policies that support democracy. In fact, they’re demanding it. Both the Biden administration and Democrats running the SenateIn a statement this week, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

Republicans have consistently opposed Democratic measures meant to bolster voting rights, with no sign of stopping. And contrary to Schumer’s claim, pursuing bipartisanship knowing it’s headed for a dangerous dead end is hardly admirable.As expected, Senate Republicans blocked the Freedom to Vote Act on Wednesday. The Senate voted 49-51 against advancing the legislation, short of the 60 votes needed to move forward.

MalcolmNance thereidout It’s lazy diplomacy and disingenuous dealing.

thereidout Bipartisan? They are more concerned with lining their pockets than ensuring the American people have what they want. We the people have spoken and those two are failing.

thereidout Yeah it is

thereidout That's bullshit . They only doing it for conservative donors Money

thereidout Sad

thereidout This is what we are dealing with two democratic obstructionist. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are the backdoor firewall of big money corpoate white nationalism. 🚫🎩💰🪙🏛🇺🇲

thereidout These two make me crazy. They act like republicans.

thereidout Both of these folks, should be a shame of themselves, for having ulterior motives by making sure, they accommodate, the GOP and wealthy donors, while being a Democrat and being a tremendous thorn towards President Biden Agenda and Democrats, in Congress Agenda. Opinion

thereidout Manchin and Sinema aren't party 'centrists.' They are party turncoats, co-opted by GQP $$.

thereidout Bipartisanship at the cost of principled advocacy for the best interests of the American people? No thanks.

thereidout The republicans have proven they will not work with the Democrats… and these two are getting paid to believe the BS

MalcolmNance thereidout The only thing they are seeking is $$$

thereidout Cheney - Moulton 2024

thereidout It’s called…. BOUGHT!!

thereidout Someone explain to them it IS admirable UNDER DIFFERENT conditions at DIFFERENT TIMES. Now, it's a fight for democracy that could disappear as early as 2022. SenatorSinema Sen_JoeManchin USA Patriot Truth REALITY America GOP

ResistsBob thereidout Its despicable

MalcolmNance thereidout bipartisanship? reality:

thereidout This dreadful pair are not about principles… its about the money.. don’t dress up graft and sleeze as anything but that !!

thereidout It’s only bipartisanship when they agree with us… we are above agreeing with them. ( think I got that right )

thereidout For Sen_JoeManchin and SenatorSinema, the dead end was the goal. Both of them are intelligent enough to know the harm they are causing potus and the nation. Ruin is not a side effect, it was always their intended destination. They torpedoed President Biden on purpose.

thereidout

thereidout The definition of insanity is...

thereidout It is not bipartisan to hurt your own party to help the other party. Bipartisan is trying to work with both parties.

thereidout

thereidout

thereidout

thereidout No they don't - they think it's lucrative, and they're correct.

thereidout It’s not brave or smart - it’s foolish and will destroy any chances they have of reeelection

thereidout Is that what you think they were doing? It's so hard to tell if you are absolutely moronic or intentionally misinforming to give cover to the corporate ownership of America's government.

thereidout They are not pursuing bipartisanship. Stop giving them that credit.

thereidout 3 SOLUTIONS for Peaceful outcome! SimpleMan 1. Settle out, arbitrate for Violating my🇺🇸💔LIFE, Liberty🗽 + Pursuit of Happiness! OR 2. Give me🇺🇸 Jury Trial + let me🇺🇸 defend myself🇺🇸but The Sword🗡 Cuts BothWays. OR 3. Send USMC 2 Rescue Me!!🇺🇸💔 12years AZ HOSTAGE MALICE

thereidout Of course Sen_JoeManchin & SenatorSinema do. They think highly of themselves & don't seem to care what others think. They certainly don't speak for me as an Independent

thereidout It's all theater. All DC is a stage.

thereidout Keep the pressure on. If they keep moving the goalposts on BBB, let's blow up the infrastructure bill. Post ad after ad blaming them, and Chase them into every damn bathroom demanding they explain themselves.

thereidout These two are NOT Democrats They vote with RepugnantRepublicans all day, every day. That makes them RepugnantRepublicans. They tell you they're Democrats while they vote with RepugnantRepublican.

thereidout These two are working for Mcconnel 💯👎👎👎

thereidout 🖕 compromising with these people. America needs these things now.

donwinslow thereidout Manchin is chair of the energy committee which regulates coal even though he has a clear conflict of interest:

thereidout Pretending two Senators who are openly receiving money from the interests they are protecting are sincerely interested in bipartisanship is lazy journalism. 'Feigning an interest in bipartisanship to protect donors, is headed for a dangerous dead end and is hardly admirable'.

thereidout They know that. It's all about those $$$.

donwinslow thereidout Republicans have made it quite clear they are not willing to work with Democrats this is all thanks to Mitch McConnell and how he stonewalled anything Barack Obama wanted to do including the things the Republicans themselves wanted to do

thereidout Why are we pretending they are goodFaithActors?

thereidout I guess they don't mind all the vitriol aimed at them for defecting to the GOP & taking bribes...er, 'donations' from Big Pharma & Big Coal.

thereidout Keep up the good work!!!!! Don't back down!!!!😎

thereidout Maybe stop putting forth insane bills

thereidout Money buys these seats. We have to get back to taxing the rich

thereidout Please stop giving these 2 attention. They are both just about as bad as Trump. They are working for republicans.

donwinslow thereidout US media is CCP dog, still believe ?

thereidout They’re not interested in bipartisanship. They’re representing their states, not a party or ideology. Deal with it.

thereidout One might rather say 'treasonous' when it is done with the full knowledge and understanding that the group demanding bipartisanship considers total surrender insufficient a compromise for their own aims. Sinema/Manchin 'pursue bipartisanship' BECAUSE they know it won't work.

thereidout Receipt political first last receipt no one bottom number

donwinslow thereidout How many have they brought in, zero!

donwinslow thereidout

thereidout I think this is just an excuse. McConnell has already said he has no intention of working w/the DEMS. From what ive seen of the GOP Congressional members most r n lock step w/McConnell.

thereidout Let's just hope they kill the Build Back A Better Shit House legislation that increases taxes and removes freedoms. thereidout why do you never talk about the Tobacco Tax hidden in the legislation?

thereidout This is what we are dealing with two democratic obstructionist. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are the backdoor firewall of big money corpoate white nationalism. 🚫🎩💰🪙🏛🇺🇲

thereidout They are horrible people.

thereidout Sen_JoeManchin SenatorSinema

thereidout Manchin and Sinema : If you’re blue, screw you.

thereidout It's highly idiotic and futile.

thereidout Nothing says white privilege more that two white conservative Democrats (really republicans) being allowed to hold up the will of over 80 million Americans who voted for the Biden agenda.

thereidout Both are creedy,and seem to enjoy stopping anything that would help the average or hurt the rich.WE HAVE GOT TO VOTE THESE PEOPLE OUT

thereidout What a joke. They don’t have 1 Republican vote. There is no bipartisanship. It’s a fantasy

thereidout no respect both bought out hell must politicians are

thereidout They are not politicking. They are disregarding politics. They are selfish-ing by ignoring the weight of the situation. They are disregarding the combined efforts of 48 seasoned and valorous senators who are each fighting the good fight. They are ungrateful. We need better.
