NY-16: How Jamaal Bowman Blew Up His Own Coalition

15. I don't even understand the reason given for not voting for the infrastructure bill.

A deal was made but then compromises had to be made to get the votes to pass it at all: voted no. But that's what happens all the time, compromise, that's the job. Have to have large enough majorities or one or two stubborn people are in a position to veto unless they get their way. The ACA says hi.

My favorite reason for voting against the infrastructure bill was the one who said Biden had promised lead pipes would be replaced and all the children in America have clean drinking water. But there wasn't enough money to literally replace every lead pipe in America, so one day the American people will realize that Biden had, like, broken his promise and they'll be so disappointed and sad that they'll never ever ever ever ever vote again. Huh?
