They're still falling for it too. All this talk of voting for more moderate Dems so they can ignore these two, as though that will make things better lul
:biden-troll: I see you. I hear you. The only way to end Joe Manchin's reign of terror over the Democratic Party is to elect 2 more Joe Manchins, so we are no longer beholden to Joe Manchin.
Funniest thing is, if they passed even the most milquetoast social safety net bill that, say, increased unemployment payments permanently, made a few tepid worker's rights advancements like mandating maternity leave, sick leave, increased minimum wage...
They'd have a mandate for a decade, and immediately yank back many of the people that are going to the left
They wouldn't have shit because there would be a massive Capital strike in retaliation and a big recession.
The Democrats and all their Capitalist friends know exactly what happens when you increase the safety net. Workers are too uppity as it is, and the longer that the labor shortage and the strike wave is in the news, the more they're gonna nerf any additional spending.
