seeks to deny a basic need to other Americans. He lives in a bubble of privilege and wealth. He could not care less about other people. He sees his role as a Senator to protect his own power and money. That is who he is.

As for Sinema, she seems to be stuck in 10th grade. Good luck figuring her out.

making corporations and the rich pay a fair share of taxes is iffy, the Medicare expansion is gone, the medical leave is gone, the community college program is gone, fighting climate change is gone and the child tax credit will likely be means tested so that the GQP can demonize it as a handout to the "lazy poor people". Once they crook and thieve their way back into power even the child tax credit will be repealed. So in other words nothing for the people but they want this "infrastructure bill" that passed the Senate that is loaded with billiions of dollars for favored donors and their corporations. This appears to be the reality we have now.
