2. The votes aren't there. Progressives and ManSinema are talking past each other

Time to get a deal and pass it. Both sides digging in is just fodder for the media and demoralizing for the voters. Regardless of whether the progressive policies are popular in the polls, they haven’t proven powerful enough to move ManSinema and I doubt anything will change. I haven’t seen a powerful, coordinated PR campaign that might convince voters to pressure their representatives in Congress.
