You can go back into this thread, and the Biden admin thread. Many said it at the time. This is not revisionist history. This is "@CrimsonTider ignored it and didn't care" history.

People were saying signing infrastructure meant BBB was dead because Manchin wouldn’t vote for it?

Why can't the house just pass a string of focused individual bills and have the senate vote? Is time the issue?

Why wouldn’t Nelson would have sided with Manchin?

that’s why the “We nEeD moAr DeMOcrAtz” isn’t going to suffice it.

Nelson didn't mess up Obamacare though, he's not Manchin or Sinema and the dynamics in 51-49 are dramatically different.

At some point we need to seriously discuss how 'progressives' in Congress are no different from establishment Democrats.

They're every bit as weak, ineffectual and bad at politics as people complain about with establishment Dems.

Obama is a lanky ass trash can. His presidency started aging like dog shyt in the sun as soon as left office. He couldn’t even just make millions with Netflix and speaking engagements and all that. He had to put the G call to stop Big Brrrrn after New Hampshire and Nevada. Look what that got us. All this is part of his legacy. I can’t believe I used to stan then tacitly defend this bytch ass mulattomeleonaire for so long. Just keep putting out end of year lists of a bunch of songs you never heard you got some donor from Sony music to send you.

WH only just now does anything to resemble fighting for the bill after Manchin's sabotage.

Bernie would have lost to Trump. Stay off twitter.

All those republicans that voted against trump in 2020? Remember those?

Bernie loses all of them.

look at the poll on this thread. why did so many vote no?

Yeah, progressives were debating what to do about Manchin even before the primaries were over. The old posts were getting upped as proof that progressives were rooting for this ish to happen. We just knew the pattern from when Lieberman was the culprit. The Squad made it fairly clear when they No voted and were attacked for it.

The big picture: The Squad's argument is that the bipartisan infrastructure bill is the beginning of transformational change — not the end.

• Ocasi0-Cortez and Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) say they weren't willing to vote for it without an assurance of passing the larger, $1.75 trillion "Build Back Better" social spending package.
  
  
• Joining them in the no-votes were Reps. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) and Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.).
  
  
• Critics have complained they let the perfect become the enemy of the good. An AOC spokesperson declined comment beyond her tweets.

There was talk that 7-8 Democratic senators were not all the way in on the BBB a few months ago.

We had similar stuff happening in the House.

It’s not a case of getting more Dems, we need more people who want to help Americans. A lot of them don’t.
