The slightest bit of pushback and the Dems flop like they were shot

The best part of all the senate parliamentarian stuff is that it was an advisory position made in 1935. They have no authority on what the senate can and cannot do but that didn't stop the dems from caving anyways.

He's not entirely wrong. They weren't able to force through one of the candidates they would have preferred and had no choice but to go with Biden.

He didn't until he did. Nate's focusing on the part where he didn't while ignoring the part where he had every single bit of it

Did the democrats have to create new rotating villains because they couldn't just keep flip flopping between Manchin and Sinema? Can't wait to find out next month about the Senate Roy and Senate Poochie who have definitely always existed and why they're stopping the $800 (600 + 800=1400) checks from going out.

They have to avoid blaming Manchin and Sinema too much because they still need to protect their positions. It's easy to blame them for things that only the obsessive politics watchers will even notice, but making them be the deciding votes on a major bill is something the voters might actually notice.

They are going to vote for the bill anyway and will get attacked by republicans for it anyway for things that are way less popular than the 15 dollar minimum wage which is almost definitely more popular in their own states than they are!

Trotskyism is the cool place to hang out. You can find most of the cool people there. In Trotskyism you can just chill and do whatever and totally relax. "Take it easy" is the Trot motto, for example, that's how laid back it is there. Show up if you want to have a good time. Another good reason to show up is if you want to hang out with friends.

Biden Open To Lower Income Threshold For New Stimulus Checks As $1.9 Trillion Proposal Heads To Senate posted:

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Sunday morning that President Joe Biden is still open to reducing the number of Americans who receive another round of stimulus checks in order to better target low-income workers and to help Biden's $1.9 trillion proposal garner the support it needs from lawmakers ahead of a crucial mid-March deadline for the bill to pass.

*Though the president is willing to target checks to “ensure they hit the Americans who need that help the most,” he is not willing to negotiate the size of the checks, which stand at $1,400 for individuals and $2,800 for couples, Psaki said on Fox News Sunday.

*She also said targeting relief checks has been an idea that’s garnered bipartisan support in meetings to discuss aid with the president as his $1.9 trillion stimulus proposal, which passed in the House early Saturday, heads to the Senate this week.

these same people often like to talk about how Bernie is "the junior senator from Vermont" as a way of bragging about how he lost the primary and is now NOTHING, NOTHING!!!!! and are now apparently also expecting him to be able to shape policy as though he were the President

maybe if these assholes had voted for him in the primary we'd GET the loving $15 minimum wage, oddly enough though they seem happier gloating about not getting it :thunk:

That's some impressive doublethink tbh. It's Bernie's fault that Democrats don't support raising the minimum wage.

this dumb oberlin-going rear end in a top hat should clue people into what liberal "antiracism" rhetoric is really being used to do in this country. nothing more than punching against the left even though that punching primarily punishes poorer people and people of color
