2. I wish he could do some positive arm twisting on senator Manchin

[Uncle Joe]

4. I believe Manchin's primary concern is doing what he can to save the Republican Party from itself

So no amount of Democratic arm twisting will make a difference.

5. I'm afraid you're exactly right on that

6. Why hasn't Obama called Manchin and Sinema?

He's still so very influential

7. It's too bad Bernie never mobilized his followers

That's not a slam against him. I know politicians tend to rile up people only when they're campaigning.

But his supporters were probably once willing to slam electeds with phone calls, emails, marches and massive pressure over specific legislation. Politicians just never ask them to

9. No they're not.

10. Bernie is like reading Howard Zinn...I love it
