You can't just pass all these pie in the sky ideas like giving people 2,000, cancelling student loan debt via one executive order, or passivg a 15 dollar minimum wage when it should probably be over $20 now anyways, you have to Pick and Choose your battles, like confirming Neera Tanden, bombing Syria, and Impeaching Trump without trying to convict him. THOSE things are whats worth fighting for, fucking idiots
The ultimate monkey's paw is that if they were able to get Neera Tanden confirmed, it would mean they could pressure Manchin in to supporting anything Biden wants, which means we could also have $15 minimum wage.
I think its more likely that its tit-for-tat and they give up on something decent to get her through, like promising they won't do 15 bucks
