It's called "politics," in case you slept through Civics. He's educating both the Senate and the general public.

He has to convince more than two of the Democratic Senators to proceed, and that takes either getting a bit of what he wants in a bipartisan way and then doing the rest in reconciliation (as he explained last night in his interview with Lawrence O'Donnell) or he proves the Republicans are not people who want to make things work.

For the public, he educates them to the fact the Republicans are mostly not serious ab out being a governing party.

Just because *you* know Republicans can't be worked with doesn't mean 50% of the people you know *don't* know that.

It wasn't called civics in Canada. Ignoring Manchin and Sinema will result in the Dems with a minority Senate? That is what you have now. Good luck. In four years Canada next to USA will be like Ukraine next to Russia.
