To be fair, Sinema gets shunned because she gets lobbied (bribed) by corporations to deliberately sink Democratic policies that would fairly tax and regulate corporations.

Fetterman in office and getting to 51+ Senators will make bribed Senators like Sinema much less powerful.

True, which makes voting blue no matter who that much more important, as much as "that's not how it should have to be".

Yeah. It's a crappy legislative system, and a two-party system has not been sustainable for our national health.

But those are the current rules. All we can do is make the best decisions based on the existing system.

Only way to change the system in my mind is for Democrats to win enough to gain a supermajority and get pressured and persuaded to change the systems for the better. And/or be large enough to split into two parties (that still each outnumber the right) that work as a coalition.
