It's looking more and more evident that she pulled a fast one. She campaigned as a progressive focused on environment/climate change...one of the progressive provisions in the reconciliation bill...but now she might as well be in McTurtle's caucus.

It appears she was a Trojan Horse to our party.

Maybe someone needs to do a deep dig on her life, look through her financials going way back.

I certainly would not put it past Putin or McTurtle to try this.
Right out of the GOP/KGB handbook.

We know Putin installed the orange one, and bought off a big chunk of the US government and press.

Nothing should surprise us and we should not be naive.

wish someone who has the knowledge and ability to go ahead and do a deep dive into her political background. She certainly doesn’t act like a democrat.

We don't yet have the real story.

Yep, wish someone would take a good look at her history.

Remember she use to be a member of the Green party. She's probably friends with Jill Stein.

The democrats must act now....It is not too late to get the vote out for 2022 -2024. We must get the infrastructure bill passed now, the budget passed and the debt ceiling upped. Its not impossible with no Repub votes...hard but now impossible.....It is urgent to win the Senate in 2022...and by a margin that will put a damper on any opposition to removing the filibuster.

have nothing whatsoever to do with Manchin's and Sinema's position.

Those who are trumpeting that this is "progressive versus moderates" are simply trying to gin up division among Democrats.

…Jeff Flake retired, Arizona still has a Senator Flake.

She dresses and acts like a 12 year old.
