BALTIMORE—Once again, Democrats are negotiating with themselves as President Joe Biden, realizing that so-called “moderate” Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona remain obstinate in opposition to key elements of his agenda, is giving ground.

    Instead, he said that right now he must give some ground, then resume pushing for more.

    I’m prepared to do the things that can get done now that can begin to change the lives of ordinary Americans to give them a fighting chance and come back and try to get others later,” the president said.

    so now we have a president who is openly acknowledging that he's leaving people twisting in the wind. they said he knew how to mourn!

    He said direct dental coverage could be replaced with $800 vouchers and the hearing aid cost problem is solving itself as hearing aids are now being sold over the counter “at Walgreens” and not for thousands of dollars, either. Of vision coverage, he said, “we’re working on it.”

    just some geriatric fool who's completely disconnected from the real world, telling us some bullshit about it.

    And in an effort to cut costs, which Manchin demands, too, paid family and parental leave would be for four weeks, not 12, Biden conceded

    the winning never starts. notice how Warren and Bernie aren't throwing their weight around, despite being 2 senators.

    Forced to choose between funding pre-K education for all kids or two free years of community college tuition, Biden chose the kids—a choice experts in the field say is more beneficial in the long run

    i allowed my opponent to put me in some preposterous double bind where he's the Joker and I can only save the pre-K education OR the community colleges!
