YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID!

EXPECT MORE!

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) continues his feud with the two Karens in the Democratic senate.

Despite the photos together, Sanders and Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) are not friends. Sanders, Manchin along with Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ) have been feuding with one another over how to get the Build Back Better agenda rolling.

Progressives are getting angry at Manchin and Sinema for stalling the agenda. They want voting rights passed, they want the George Floyd Policing bill passed. They want the infrastructure bill passed with all the elements not any cuts or sacrifices.

The West Virginia senator has already signalled he wants to strip out the necessary child car and clean energy pieces of the infrastructure bill. That riled up Sanders and he wrote an op-ed in the Charleston Gazette-Mail, the largest newspaper in West Virginia. He said that he laid out the stakes for the legislation and said that passage of Biden's agenda is essential to the American people.

"The reconciliation bill is being opposed by every Republican in Congress as well as the drug companies, the insurance companies, the fossil fuel industry and the billionaire class," Sanders wrote. "They want to maintain the status quo in which the very rich get richer while the ordinary Americans continue to struggle to make ends meet."

The West Virginia senator did not like the remarks. So he fired off a tweet criticizing Sanders and the House Progressive Caucus chair Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA). 

"This isn't the first time an out-of-stater has tried to tell West Virginians what is best for them despite having no relationship with our state. Congress should proceed with caution on any additional spending and I will not vote for a reckless expansion of government programs. No op-ed from a self-declared Independent socialist is going to change that."

Democrats in Arizona want someone else to represent their state.

The Build Back Better plan is well loved among Democrats and some Republicans. But Manchin and Sinema as well as the 50 Karens in the Republican senate are slowing down progress. Biden can't get things done despite having the slim majority.

Sinema also faced heat as well. She left Washington to return to Phoenix for a private fundraiser. Then it was reported she traveled to Europe to do a donor conference with lobbyists.

When elected in 2018, the progressives thought they broke ground. They elected the first woman, first openly bisexual and first influencer to the Senate. She defeated Karen McSally in the fight for Jeff Flake's seat. Sinema's been in office since 2019. 

McSally was appointed senator anyway and soon she would end up losing to Mark Kelly, the husband of shooting victim, former congresswoman Gabby Giffords. 

Progressives saw the writing on the wall when Sinema was voting with Republicans on confirmation of federal judges. They believed that Sinema was betraying their trust. Soon after 2020, when the Democrats got the slim majority, they thought they had enough power to get things done with Vice President Kamala Harris being a tie-breaker.

Nope. Sinema has been standing in the way as well as Manchin. She hasn't publicly stated her position on the Build Back Better package. She has been ducking protesters and the junk food media. She has gotten death threats and threats of primaries from progressives.

Sinema was confronted numerous times by protesters. I have a strong feeling they're going to get violent towards Sinema and Manchin because of their actions. The U.S. Capitol Police are aware of the controversies surrounding these three senators as well as a three handfuls of do-nothings in the House of Representatives. 

Congress has record low job approval. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Sen. Karen McConnell (R-KY) and Sen. Karen McCarthy (R-CA) are ranked really badly in most polls.

Biden has a job approval of 48% right now. He is under 50% due to the failure to get his agenda done. 

He must use the presidency to demand an ultimatum to the two Democrats and independent senator.

We also must vote in 2022 to gain more seats in states like Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Ohio. It's going to be a challenge due to Washed Up 45 carrying four of the states that an incumbent is running or retiring from. It is doable but not assured. We need to Build Back Better or face another Congress with Republicans holding back America and progress.

If these two Democrats and independent senator hold back Biden, I will spare no hesitation to defeat them as well.
