Someone please tell Bernie that. He is currently acting like HE is Speaker of the House and President of the United States instead of one Senator among 50.
One among 100.

It continues to force Manchin and Sinema to stay engaged in BBB though. Once that infrastructure bill is signed, I can see either one of them walking away from BBB with some new made up objection.

The power was always with the Senate where the margins are closer and the Democrat Senators are more moderate.
Those on the left will always lose out to the whims of the most moderate members of the party. Always. The only way to fix this is to follow the Republicans' example - elect more ideologically extreme candidates.
