"Sinema agrees". I absolutely hate how much decision-making power flows through such a small number of people, and quite often down to just two total from the Democrats.
That's what happens when you have the literally weakest majority possible
If she does some weird shit and dances then doesn't pass bc she's "eccentric" again, I s2g
The shittiest weird aunt in America better come through, our deadbeat uncle is on the proper wavelength for one (outside of judges where he's been excellent and still is)

Not too terrible asked in all honesty.
That's what happens when you don't actually have a majority, you have a 50:50 tie BUT you win the tiebreaker
I swear following this thing is gonna give me a fucking stroke.
Feel like someone is gonna jump up and say "And now all Dems have to do is slay the mythical wyvern of the Senate, something that must be done every 200 years before a reconciliation bill can be past."

maybe sinema just wanted her own "touch" on the bill similarly to manchin
Actually isn't that possibly better? Seems like a harder one for people to weasel around

Sinema has been very vocal about taxing the rich and corporations because she's terrible.
More tax revenue than a 15% minimum? (Assuming it's dropped to something somewhat reasonable in an American context like 12.5-13% and not 10% or lower. That would be great assuming the tax loophole stuff is more solid in the final text
You hate the Senate when it's 50-50 and needs a VPOTUS tiebreak.
If Democrats could actually get people to vote for them en masse properly, the Senate is fine when a side actually has a majority.
I hate that we have to bow down to trash cans like her and Manchin in order to get anything done.
If this passes, Biden will have one of the most impactful and successful first terms let alone first two years of any President in decades.
She would look like a real shitheel after asking for that drought money to do taht
Yeah, but gas prices are still a little high so he's actually shit and basically the worst President ever! /s
Hoping he doesn't become fully fucked after the midterms…
While I get what you're saying; the senate is pretty much broken with the way it works along with abuse of the filibuster. A majority wouldn't fix the problems and we're probably never going to see a 60 senator majority from either party ever again.
