The problem is, the democrats have done a lot of these symbolic votes, on issues that majorities (55% or more) of the public support. They take down the vote, and the public doesn't notice.

Even with public support for their ideas, they are losing the messaging war against the other party. Most voters don't pay attention to candidates' voting records, and barring the unforseen the Republicans appear poised for a major victory in the House, with the senate in play as well. We are in for some bad times ahead.

> Eh, both Manchin and Sinema self-identify as democracts, which some argue is all you really need these days.

When you speak with disdain and sarcasm, no one will listen to what you have to say even when you are right about everything.

If you want to change minds, show respect first, clarify the opponent's best argument, and then take it apart calmly piece by piece.

If, instead, you want to spread anger and frustration from yourself to those around you, by all means continue with the snide comments.

Without every state agreeing to it, you end up with a race to the bottom.
