    Or they could kill the filibuster which only takes a simple majority. Where were the cries from liberals to primary the pro life Dems that wouldn’t back the Freedom of Choice act? They were nowhere to be seen.

      Manchin, Sinema, and every member of the GOP specifically blocked a carve out for abortion and voting rights legislation regarding the fillibuster. You can’t primary Manchin from the left, you won’t win. Sinema never planned on continuing her Senate career. She just wanted to cash out. Neither are going to be running as Democrats anytime soon.
