You're right! The only reason people like Libermann and Manchin get so much attention is because we don't have enough votes in congress so they are the deciding vote. Flip another seat and all of a sudden whoever the next Manchin is, (maybe Fetterman) is irrelevant.

More Democrats in office means a shifted Overton window and a stronger mandate for change. That's why all the people who sit out the election because they think they are not getting enough are wrong.
