I tend to believe that unbridled corporate whorism is the problem with these two. The two headlines below showcase the problem, imo:B.See » 29 Sep 2021, 9:24 pm » wrote: ↑ I mean, if these two are Democrats then I'm Little Bo Peep. Too much corporate money lining their pockets I think:

As long as these two are beholden to their corporate donors, they are NOT serving the American voters who made their way through a pandemic to cast their votes in record numbers for Democrats and Joe Biden. If Democrats, as a whole, do not come through for the American people (i.e. healthcare, voting rights, child care, climate), then we are going to lose.
This bill represents the most aggressive progressive agenda I have witnessed to date on a national level. It NEEDS to pass. The American people overwhelmingly need it to pass. It is largely, if not entirely (depending on the final bill), paid for by raising the taxes on the ultra wealthy and corporations. No family making less than $400,000 will see a tax increase.
What's not to like?
Yet I fear it will not pass SOLELY because of these two senators.
