When Manchin and Sinema call for bipartisanship, what they’re really saying is “I like having the power to coral corporate donors. I won’t reform the filibuster even though it will protect democracy because doing so would deprive me off power.”
@RBReich Campaign finance reform, debate reform, congressional term limits, voting rights, federal education, constitutional conventions, ranked voting
@RBReich but their power is GONE the second McConnell is back in power, how do they not see that? how? the Trump coup will succeed if they block voting rights, incredible to me, Biden, or Schumer or someone, cant bring this message home...
@RBReich It’s amazing that those two have so much power, all because of their filibuster option.
@RBReich If Manchin and Sinema truly believe in bipartisanship, then we should hold them responsible for building those bridges. So far, from my perspective, they've failed miserably.
@RBReich I wouldn't be surprised if one or both switches parties if GOP becomes majority and they are no longer the power brokers
