THE U.S. IS NOT A DEMOCRACY. Although people on all sides of politics often call the U.S. a democracy, it is, and has always been, a republic. One could also call it a representative democracy.
There is no poll showing the majority of Americans or voters support this BBB. So Manchin is NOT opposing the will of the people in the country.
Manchin is representing the will of the people of West Virginia.
There are 100 senators, 50 Republicans and 50 who are Democrats or vote with Dems to organize the Senate.
So Manchin is with the 50 GOP against the Build Back Bolshevik. Sinema is against various parts of BBB.
That means 52 Senators against the plan to give us the prosperity that Cuba and Venezuela have enjoyed over the years.
In the Senate 52 votes beats 48 votes. The math is easy.
