They were going to get blamed no matter what they did, so that's irrelevant.



nikka what?

Biden took their back in initial negotiations, and that emboldened them. They literally had no other leverage at this point. We have seen it a million times.

Politically speaking, he's right. It's not moving anyone to go to the ballot box. Maybe If this thing got done on the original timeline but not now after it's been dragging through the mud.

It's important but no one cares. Its not a sexy or interesting issue.

i hear you

but it's also a rugged, universally popular piece of legislating that can't be construed as "socialism", and that trump utterly failed to get done. democrats needed this shot of credibility, big time

 

[Killah Ray]

So BBB is pretty much dead now right? Such a damn shame that the best social policy since the new deal is fukking dead.....

and now Biden will owe them one.

Biden ain’t got shyt to offer

The Progressives lost again

I shouldn't be shocked. This is who the progressives are. They bytch and cry all day about how these bills suck and don't do enough and then get punked by Pelosi when it comes time to vote.

They did it with the stimulus, they just did it with the infrastructure, and they'll no doubt do it with the BBB once Manchin and Sinema rip it to pieces. It is what it is.

Probably doesn’t but ultimately their best play left is just to gain goodwill because Manchin and Sinema aren’t moving.

And even if he did he isn't gonna give it to the fukking progressives.

Interesting smiley use since Ro Khanna was on TYT this afternoon juelzing like crazy about why progressives caved:

 

[dtownreppin214]

I disagree. They did the best that they could but they know the tendency to blame progressives for everything and now Biden will owe them one.

Nah, Manchin won. BBB is done.

They had a great play, but the fact that Manchin and Sinema would be unmoved means that they shoulda dug in as well. They chose not to and gave Manchin and Sinema a victory they didn’t deserve.

But as I’ve come to realize, they are all careerists and we have to advocate and organize for things because the people we elect have no backbone.
