Brandon's smart, savvy political instincts and brilliant tactics were on display in 2021 to 2022. He put Sinema and Manchin - two super-attention hounds - in the spotlight for a year until he took an ax to his own bills and did exactly what they wanted. Manchin also got a payoff. I forget what it was exactly - a mining exception or something?
For the rest of time, if Pramila Jayapal shows up in public, she should have reporters asking her "hey remember when you agreed to pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill in the house and send it to the senate with assurances that you'd get Biden and Schumer to whip votes for BBB afterward, then you completely ate shit and gave away all your leverage and got nothing in return and Manchin and Cinema left the party and nobody even attempted to bring them in line in any way?"
Most reporters are very busy generating SEO manipulation and cranking out shitty articles for their private equity paymasters. But if she promises to say only good things about Brandon - she can go MSNBC and do that.

Ninja edit: I wasn't making fun of typical reporters. They do god's work for shit pay. It was a comment about how everything is so monstrously fucked up.
remember build back better, that was another 'plan' that failed and given up on immediately with democrat control of congress
