      What? Resistance liberals are absolutely furious at Manchin and Sinema.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1398344511810588695 …

      Resistance liberals probably wouldn't accept the idea of Democratic blame but there's no reason why leftists who believe fascism analysis shouldn't. It's a major problem that Dems are not the type of party that can successful resist authoritarianism.

      Do they generalize it into a critique of the party or just blame individuals?

          In what sense is it the Democratic Party's fault that Manchin and Sinema are rejecting planks of the Democratic platform?

          This is not a case of Democratic Party ideological intransigence preventing cooperation. The Dems have tried to make deals with Manchin and Sinema to advance the party's priorities and they've failed.

          the individuals are the primary obstacle to the party being able to solve the problem.

          Left out of this analysis is that 47-48 Democratic senators and most representatives *are* on board with doing the right thing so maybe, in this case, the things to blame are the individuals? With a thin majority the marginally worst individuals make the choices

          If Dems had won Maine and North Carolina senate seats it'd be a hugely different narrative right now but I don't see that the essence of the party would be meaningfully different

          You're playing the freshwater economics trick of blaming the Federal Reserve for the Great Depression.

          The two individuals in question are the immediate problem. That the rest of the party seeks "bipartisanship" with people who scream "SOSHULISTS!!!" at them ios the long-term problem. Demcrats have been bringing ice cream to a gun fight for approximately forever.
