Scoop: White House budget will NOT include key Biden campaign pledges -- such as the public option, prescription drugs reform, or student debt relief, per sourcesWH squarely focused on $4T in jobs/infrastructure + "families" plansW/ @tylerpager https://t.co/3DJIQfYPi6— Jeff Stein (@JStein_WaPo) May 21, 2021
If the GOP had done Obama era-like obstructionism in, say, the 1970s - I could at least understand Biden saying said he still has gotta try to work with the GOP because that was so long ago. But in our actual reality - when Biden was VP - he wasn't the second most powerful person in DC - McConnell was. Biden was in the fucking room when McConnell ratfucked Obama time and again. Anyone with a brain understand these. And now that Biden, himself, is president - the second most powerful person in DC is not Kamala - it's Manchin.
PRIMARY those clowns
I've suggested that in r/politics but I was patted on the head and I was told that I don't understand how politics works.
Of course, because that's a deviation from the norm. They would rather ride the river of mediocrity and piss into the eventual ocean of piss than change course. Because change is scary to these people. It's why they keep falling back into line time and again, even as their own party fucks them and everyone else over.
