I bet manchin outright saying I killed this bill gently caress you will still get blamed on the progressives that bent over repeatedly and cut more than half of the original proposal

This is the only play they have left. Progressives are both an insignificant minority unworthy of attention and also responsible for the party's complete ossification and destruction.

they literally don't even realize why people will be mad at them for this. to them the highest level of punishment is "being bad mouthed in the media", because perception in the media is all any of them are concerned with.

Yeah Steve King got his committee assignments revoked, and then, as I recall, he got primaried by someone who was exactly as bad as him but who knew how to keep his mouth shut.

I think there's an outside chance that Manchin might see some kind of consequences here, not because he fulfilled his role as Rotating Villain, but because he embarrassed the White House this time.

Like, I still mostly doubt it but it's possible.

Oh Manchin is going to see consequences, positive ones.

The White House is going to bend even further over backwards for him now. They’ll further destroy what little climate agenda they have. They’ll stop even pretending to like unions. Anything anything to get Manchin back to the bargaining table.

Biden's probably pretty cross that the bill which had been watered down to nothing and that he did nothing to help pass, was defeated by the sinister manchin

Even if you believe that he's doing this on his own and Biden isn't fine with him, no one in the party has any leverage at all over him.

The Democrats clearly also knew, it was the public who was in the dark.

It sounds like Schumer is going to keep pushing until “something” is passed next year.

Jack, you don't just take things from a senator - listen - when my dad sat us down at the dinner table, he'd say eat your peas. gotta eat your peas. I don't see a lot of peas in the menu anymore. things are changing, and you know, I think that's wonderful. it's wonderful. but I'm here to tell you, we gotta do it right.

Of course, we didn't give them the votes they don't need and don't want because we're fired from voting, so all blame for the decisions made by Democratic politicians that have won all their elections falls squarely upon our collective heads

Manchin and Sinema did the smart thing, their tactics are extremely effective against the spineless Dems. The entire Dem apparatus has spent a year catering to every whim and obviously corrupt handout they demand, and no matter how many times they demand more they always get it.

Why would they ever stop? They are just going to ratchet up this tactic and have more senators copy their gameplan next year. Pelosi and Schumer will continue to cater to them, it's all they know.

ultimately what joe Manchin wanted was to do nothing which happens to be the democrats platform

he’s effective for the dems not against
