On MSNBC, Rep. Pramila Jayapal explained why House progressives are not backing down against Senator Manchin and Sinema:

"So I can't say what's driving somebody to be against it, but what I can say is 4 percent. 4 percent of all the Democrats in the House and the Senate are blocking the build back better act from passing. 96 percent agree with us. The president agrees with us. And the speaker of the House, the Senate majority leader, everybody is with us on this, and yet we`re being -- you know, that`s the thing about narrow majorities.

4. Sad, the entire spectacle has been truly painful to watch.

After 4 years of Trump, a pandemic, no one deserves this kind of obstruction from their own party.

3. It's unbelievable that the conservative Democrats are blaming

Still hopeful everything comes together and we get both bills passed.

8. It's ENTIRELY believable.

That’s been the way of the walk forever. They’re just confused why it isn’t working this time like it has in the past.

7. Now that's accurate framing in a headline! Nt
