It also can be used (and has been) on both sides, so it's not unfair.

Thankfully Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema aren't going along with this BS to kill it.

Sinema totally has the look of some awful SJW leftist chick (plus she's bisexual, which makes it seem even more likely), yet in reality she's very centrist. I actually have gained respect for her and her unwillingness to be browbeaten by her Democratic colleagues into going along with the extreme BS du jour.
Except when it was inconvenient for the Republicans, so they half-killed it to stop the Democrats from using it.

Elections have consequences. If you don't like the Democrats' legislation, win the next election.
I hate to say it but this is kinda right
