but the part i don't understand is, how 93 seats can fit all 34 manchins plus the 60 votes to overcome them all?

There you loony lefties go again making the perfect the enemy of the good. We need to band together to pass the funding increase for the Manchinite death squads and THEN we will worry about reigning in the mandatory organ harvesting laws NEXT ELECTION when we win the 94 seats we need to really change things.

Oh, sorry, that is right. The Democrats would need all 100 seats, so that there will be 60 real democrats to outvote the 40 Manchins. Also, we would need the Parlimentarian, and the Puerto Rican, and the DC non-voting representatives, so that the three of them could scold the 41st Manchin into voting with the Democrats.

No no you're not getting it, we're going to get one Republican to vote for it, by offering an extensive series of preemptive concessions in the legislation!
