    NextEra Energy is a green company supportive of wind, solar and other “green” forms of energy. Of course he’s going to vote opposite Manchin.

    Manchin and Sinema should be good Dems and vote for both Biden bills. Then because of their beliefs, they should have WV and Arizona opt-out of the programs due to some principles. Then they will be good dems and be voting for what they claim their states want. They would surely be popular in their home states. and would not piss off the party. It would be a win/win for them.

    Manchin accepts “political donations” from a group would vote against a deal that would restrict them, lessen their profits or whatever … but we’re giving Schumer (and others like him…his was the only one I looked up) and those like him a pass for accepting money from a group that would benefit from the measure passing. I see a double standard.

    The bill is held up by Manchin. What is the double standard you see?

    Manchin is doing what his state and political donors desire and it’s bad…

    Schumer and others are doing what their states (supposedly) and political donors want and it’s good …

    Double standard, imo

    Griping about Manchin or expecting him to vote for this is …. wait for it …. asking him to vote “against his own best interest.”

    You lost me. All Democrats want to pass this bill. Only Manchin (and Sinema) are holding it up.

    Can WV and Arizona opt out of the tax increases that come with it too?

    Oh well, maybe he’ll cave and vote for it and make Biden and Sanders happy.

    That wasn't the question. Can they opt out of the taxes that come with the bill if they aren't getting the supposed benefits?
