Of all the politicians in Washington D.C., few have been more correct or frankly on the right side of history than Bernie Sanders. As much as they might hate to admit it, his fellow lawmakers like Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer would probably do well to listen to his advice and perspective. At least, if they wanted to be successful they would. Well, Bernie had some thoughts about how the Democratic Party is handling Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin, and as usual he is entirely correct.

Juliana Kaplan and Joseph Zeballos-Roig with Insider write:

“…In a new interview with Vanity Fair, Sanders again lambasted Manchin and Sinema’s role in killing Build Back Better, saying they “sabotaged our efforts, what we were trying to do.”

“Ever since then, the Democratic Party has stumbled and fallen further and further behind,” Sanders told Vanity Fair’s Hunter Walker and Luppe B. Luppen…

…”How you handle Manchin, how you handle Sinema and the other conservative Democrats is one of the challenges that the Democrats have got to deal with,” Sanders told Vanity Fair. “But the current strategy is an absolute political failure…”’
