    So, who’s the next senator to perfectly represent every last centrist in the country by blocking things Democrats ran on but never had any intention of implementing?

    Don’t pretend that there isn’t a line of them just itching to be the next Perfect Centrist.

      I suspect he and Sinema are the tip of the iceberg. There’s a few other corporate ball coddlers in there that were happy to have Manchin and Sinema the the heat that they otherwise might have to take.

        In addition to the two centrists you mentioned, six members of the Democratic caucus voted to keep the federal minimum wage at 7.25 an hour (2.13 an hour tipped). If we’re talking candidates for the next rotating villain, I wouldn’t bet against any of those.
