Sinema indicated that she won several changes to the tax provisions of the package, including removing the tax on carried interest, which would have impacted hedge fund managers and private equity. That proposal would have raised $14 billion.
Quote
“We have agreed to remove the carried interest tax provision, protect advanced manufacturing, and boost our clean energy economy in the Senate’s budget reconciliation legislation,”

She would remain the worst. Yes, realpolitik matters, but you gotta see a dog for a dog, even when it's your own party.

Sinema was elected to represent her constituents--the majority of her constituents. By pulling the carried interest loophole, rather than representing the interests of millions of her constituents, she is representing a few hundred big money donors.

Obviously, it would be worse if she was a Republican--or that seat was filled by a Republican. I just don't understand why she has to be such an advocate for big money (actually, I understand perfectly, I just don't think it's a good look).

She's literally voting "yes" on the biggest clean energy bill in history. "Yes" on radically lowering drug costs for millions of Americans. "Yes" on the "Chips' bill. "Yes" on a significant Veterans bill. Bernie Sanders is crapping all over the Reconciliation bill to prove that he's the "amendment king" because he never passes anything but the 3 bills that carry his name (2 of them post office name changes and one of those for a former slave owner).
He voted "No" on the Chips Bill. 50 Republicans voted no on the Reconciliation bill. But hey, "she's" the bad one. I'm not saying she's all that good. But I know the ignorance and stupidity that coalesced into the circumstances we're forced to endure.
The big difference between me and everybody else, is I don't let stuff slide because all people are going to do, is the same thing over.

Even if you’re of the opinion that they should just take what Manchin gives them because he’s unreliable and they should get it over with, it’s interesting to be a Democrat getting mad at Bernie for even saying out loud that the most right-wing member shouldn’t dictate the agenda.
