President Bernie would've been in WV and AZ every week holding rallies for it.That's fine, but I think Biden needed to do what Bernie did in going around the country to sell the importance of both bills. He chose not to. Go around the country and say how the bill will help and call out the two senators who were holding it up. The news cycle moves fast and that statement didn't last more than a day or two. He didn't fight for this.

2. Are you cool with the amount of corporate handouts in this bill?
3. Do you think $1.7 trillion is enough to fix our infrastructure?

AOC playing the game? i thought she was a real one...Basically.
If their votes were needed they would've voted for it. It's all for show.
your enemy? white trash voters are voting for marjorie taylor greenAs much as i hate @the cac mamba and neg him whenever possible, he perfectly encapsulates the average white trash voter. As a fellow white person, id spit in his face, but he does give us a view into the misguided perspective of our collective enemies.
you don't seem to get it that progressives are maybe a third of the democrats. so that means 5/6 of americans
1/3 of the democrats is 1/6 of congress1/3 == 2/6. Carry on.
