Democrats ought to be wiping the floor with the radical party of sedition, but they are crippled by Judas legislators in their midst. Biden is loosing ground because the dithering Demos cannot govern. This situation requires drastic action--US Person asks pardon for a mutt giving advice to a sitting President--Biden should have private conversations with Senators Machin and Sinema to lay down an ultimatum: Either they support changing the filibuster rule or use reconciliation to pass his agenda for America. If they cannot bring themselves to support the rest of their party, they should leave it and let the next election decide who controls the Senate. In the current circumstances the body serves no one except office holders. House progressives are correct to insist that both pieces of legislation, the infrastructure bill and the social benefits bill, pass together. Without a guarantee from the treacherous holdouts, the progressives, whose caucus hold the balance of power in the House and represent the will of the people, will end up with less than half an already diminished pie.
