    The West Virginia Senator told the White House

    How does a normie lib rationalize this? What do they tell themselves after winning the latest "most important election of our life" when their victorious champion holding the highest office in the land is told by a subordinate member of their own party no, and has no recourse?

      Isn't it funny how when Trump was president the lib line was "omg he can do literally anything he wants", and now that Biden is president the line has changed to "well ackshully the POTUS doesn't have any power at all".

      I think Bernie is gonna get all the flak, baby. It's very possible that NO bill passes, no BBB shit for anyone, and progressives who weren't willing to be "pragmatic" are going to get the brunt of the blame.

      They’re probably telling themselves that it’s the progressives’ fault for asking for too much.
