I think this unserious person is going to be giving Democrats headaches until January 2025.

and House. FDR and LBJ got their big plans passed because we had big majorities in both. I'm starting to doubt anything will be passed. People are tired of the fighting and this will affect elections in 2022.

Tell them to take it or leave it. Dare them to vote down Biden's agenda.

They won't.

I don’t think they’ll vote no either. The Dems should have done this months ago rather than negotiate the bills down so much.

Its always the vast Democratic majority giving concessions to a radical vanishing minority.

That is a shit negotiating tactic.

We do not need to fashion a perfect bill for Manchinema.

We give them a "less bad" bill and tell them to take it or leave it.

Then they can go home to whatever constituents they serve and brag about how they "saved money" or some bullshit.

Manchin and Sinema have been very effective in proving that Republicans have not yet cornered the market on divas.

Most of the donors are Republican, aren’t they? Coal and pharmaceuticals lean right.

That should tell you something.

Pramila Jayapal was on the Rachel Maddow Show tonight, so excited she was practically jumping up and down, talking about how close they were getting. WTAF.
