Act while we still can before the Senate becomes literally unwinnable? Pressure what Senators we have while we can to unfuck the fucked up stuff. But I'm also way more sick and tired of pointing to the core institutions as being fundamentally fucked in ways that electoralism can barely solve and being asked "What do you suggest" and the obvious answer is that the the whole of it is rotted and it probably needs to be replaced. I don't know where you get the political will for that and honestly, I doubt it's possible in the current US and we may not be talking real change til the US balkanizes as I have largely suspected it will innevitably because the fracturing is only getting worse. And while that might not happen in the next 10-15 years, I don't the US gets out of this century intact and will be crippled by climate crises by the end of the century. Yeah, that's going to seriously impact a lot of people negatively when it happens, but I'm increasingly convinced the US just isn't going to be able to last.
The best I've got, and again, this isn't on me or any forum goer, but on the wealthy assholes that currently do wield an enormous amount of power, Biden and 90% of the Senate included because I am not inclined to even like, let alone excuse and idolize, most politicians and think most of them have probably caused more harm than good on a global scale... but I digress, Is to at least go all out with what we have. I don't know how you convince Manchin and Sinema to change their tune, but they have to be convinced to choose the greater good of doing things to protect the American people and their rights over their own misplaced judgments of their own character and electoral chances. They do the right thing now, and Manchin probably loses in 2024 (which I think he does regardless of his path now, so he might as well go big), but we have a seat from Pennsylvania or North Carolina or Wisconsin to make up for his loss. Sinema is Sinema, but there has to be someway to convince her that its in her political self interest to preserve people's rights. As for the others you work through their various weak points to the best of your ability and convince them of doing the right thing. And I'm sure the ever loving corporate wing of the Democratic party can come up with plenty of money and cushy correspondent jobs for anyone else that feels at risk of losing/being primaried whatever.
But I do think we're rapidly approaching a tipping point that puts Democrats out of power for the next decade and people just don't have the time for that reality, and the fascists are looking to solidify their power through stolen electoralism, and there's an above average chance they can get it in the House through Redistricting this year without further intervention by Congress and the Senate already disadvantages them. You act now because you have the opportunity to do it, and as much as Manchin likes to talk about 10 good Republicans, I'm looking for 10 good moderate Democrats that put country over self interest and principle and seize the moment. I think it only becomes a harder reality to make change happen from here on out.
For all the talk of liberals saying voters have to act against the greater evil now so we don't suffer the consequences later, the party has to do the same if we want any chance at better things and retaining the rights of the people.
