    So the Dems entire marketing strategy for midterms is gonna be “keep Mitch out” isnt it? It’s not like they have anything else to run on.

    COVID deaths are more then under trump

    The cages are still open

    Zero huge policy

    The Israeli embassy is still in Jerusalem

    No debt relief or weed

    Gonna be a blood bath there’s s chance the Dems loose every election.

      Turns out the only promise Biden kept was nothing fundamentally changed. Who knew the liberal cry about reading the entire quote was disingenuous

        Don’t try to show that data to Republicans tho! They will just claim it’s doctored and point to that plane of refuges in New York!! We are all gonna die in firing lines

      Feel like they might run on the infrastructure bill and maybe Obamacare, which would be hilarious.

    My favorite all time moment on :reddit-logo: was during the Kavanaugh confirmation circus I had a lib lecture me on the importance of strategic voting and that even though Manchin voted to confirm, when it comes to important shit he will vote with democrats 👍

    Tell me how my ass tastes

    This is possibly the funniest thing we have yet experienced in politics - absolutely top tier. So much ink and tears spilled insisting that BBB was as good as done.

    Biden is already a lame duck, in less than one year. Incredible.

      By his own party no less. Key accomplishments will be overseeing massive inflation, ending the child tax credit, restarting student loans and of course putting hundreds of thousands of Americans in the dirt.

      Also ending Afghanistan in the most embarrassing way possible which was hilarious and good but will play poorly with people who actually like this shithole country

    Anyone read his statement regarding this? It reads like one of those psycho exes just gaslighting the hell out of you. He uses the spread of Omicron as an example as to why the bill that shouldn't be passed, because rising debt would hamper the country's ability to deal with it. Of course, the very next sentence, he tags in some bullshit about some "geopolitical tension" with China and Russia to really drive the point home. Dude is a nasty piece of work for real

    His statement

    Dems are saying that Manchin agreed to BBB "in secret". If he agreed to it, why not just.... Schedule a vote? Why pass Manchin's bill first?

    This isn't limited to Manchin. The Democrats as a block supports everything that keeps things as they are. If you voted out Manchin, there will always be another like him who is willing to sellout to business interests.

    Lol, he's just mad Kamala didn't acknowledge that he was the real President. Atleast all he's doing is not voting on major legislative goals, he could start a drone war in California to teach Kamala a lesson.

    How could president Manchin do this

    If it's just one vote, it's really not hard for some orgs to collaborate on bullying the shit out of him to make him capitulate. What happened to all those kayakers screaming at him on his yacht, or the people chasing him at the marina? That should 10x bigger, and 24/7.

    Of course as I'm writing this I'm remembering he's the face of internal opposition and there's probably 10-15 other Dems who don't want it either.
