Manchin and Sinema are failed politicians with an inability to navigate Republican extremism. Their views are completely worthless at this point. The media are using them to drive news, not to add to the debate to help democracy which none of them care about.
Manchin has long been either blind to GOP baked-in malfeasance, or is just seriously full of crap in fetishizing the filibuster. A bad Democrat.
Sinema was hoping to be McCain's replacement as the sensible maverick from AZ. Instead she turned her back of previous progressive positions (ever genuine?), and became compromised by the money and power.
Excellent points about the fundamentally UNdemocratic structure of U.S. politics (the Senate, the filibuster, etc.) And today for the win: "She described herself as 'fairly libertarian,' like any obnoxious college freshman who got halfway through The Fountainhead, and claimed she’s 'overqualified' for the presidency."
Traitors
He doesn’t even go to school here
Me to Manchin. Stick the torch up your traitorous ass.

Good riddance to them both, I say.
Fuck Manchin and the horse he rode in on.
FFS
Their glory days, wielding their only power. Now, that’s all folks!
We need to make elected official recall elections law in every state and it can be called the Manchin Law
I just have one thing to say to Manchin and Sinema: fuck all the way off you traitors and DINOs. Go to hell.
Mansion and Sinema are either really ignorant or excellent liars. Or both. They are stuck in the tar pit with the rest of the dinosaurs.
Funny—I thought the Holy Grail of democracy was the idea that the side with the most votes wins.

Worst political burn of 2024?
Joe Manchin is my hands-down winner of that sought-for prize, "Cunt of the Year", and it's no contest.
I guess it’s kinda pointless to speculate whether Manchin really knows so little of history, or he just hopes people listening do...
... either way yes the filibuster is as much a Jim Crow relic as the majority of confederate ‘monuments’...
... but, then, so are rather a lot of (mostly) Republican legislators. So I guess this is kinda relic solidarity.
Sinema and Manchin tie for the award of Best Makeup in presenting themselves as Democrats.
