Ok, I’ll give you Manchin. I get his unique status as a Dem in WV


Dems have to negotiate with him. That makes sense.

Sinema sucks, though. There’s no reason for her to be as awful as she is.



As I've reported on
@CNBC
: Sinema's communicated the below position to outside groups:
- Corp tax rate of 23-24%
- No increase to carried interest tax
- Ceiling of 39.6% for top ind. income tax


Why is she fighting for the carried interest tax loophole? Why is she fighting so hard for the most wealthy in the country.

She has been taken over by DC lobbyists and their agenda. She is awful.


The reason this is frustrating is because the reality is this is the Dems only time to pass their bill. Rs are going to win the House in 2022 (gerrymandering will make it near impossible for Dems). Nothing significant will pass in 2022, so this is the last shot. Outside of economic recovery, the Dems got one bill in 2009. It was a watered down health care bill. It was a significant improvement from the status quo, but the watering down made it less than impressive. Dems are on the verge of doing the exact same thing here 12 years later.

Then we’re looking at another decade plus of no Dem control and a packed Judiciary that Mitch jammed full of GOP control. This is it.
