Democrats' Wasted Year: Sinema and Manchin Aren't Moving on Filibuster or BBB

Months ago we wrote this….
Beating Dead Horses: Forget 'Build Back Better' and Get Bipartisan AlreadyIn which we noted the very obvious:
“DC hasn’t legislated in election years in decades. So this off-year was all the time there was for anything to get done. And we’ve wasted nigh its entirety beating the dead horse that is the fake ‘Build Back Better’ bill.
“I have a sense that if a Republican majority was myopically stuck on a piece of partisan legislation, the entirety of the planet would have in Week II begun chastising them for wasting everyone’s time. Republicans would be incessantly cajoled to get back to working on bipartisan things that can actually get done.”
Nearly a year into the exceedingly awful Joe Biden Administration, neither Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema or West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin have moved even a little in their opposition to large swaths of Build Back Never. Or ending the filibuster. And they never lied about this. Au contraire. They have been very openly saying they would not move even a little.
But Democrats have insisted on remaining steadfastly impervious to these facts. And we are rapidly approaching the year anniversary of their titanically wasting our time.
