Paid leave is just the latest party priority Democrats have removed from the bill because of opposition from their centrist members. Democrats have let go of free community college, a program aimed at pushing utilities to generate more clean energy and a series of top marginal-tax-rate increases in recent days.
They do. However note that under a more competent, more comfortable, more confidently neolib administration the Democrats used to pass the vetoing buck around among a group of senators and congressmen that was so big none of them even lost their liberal/progressive bona fides over that. Matt Taibbi wrote pretty well about that before he got Twitter brain rot. Now they can't seem to do that competently anymore, leaning heavily on those two senators, but if you were to replace S&M with Berniecrats some moderate Dem would simply morph into Manchin like a shapeshifter.
Yeah you right but sinema and manchin play the villain so well that I really want to see them get sewage funneled into their mouths
after they gargle your taint, right?
Submission and Masochism?
