it kind of blows that the left is fumbling the message around Neera's blockage when it's a prime example of why it's a total waste of time and energy to bend over backwards to try and appease self-described moderates with right-wing policy

Usually the nominees to federal posts at least have some connection to the job they're up for. Isn't the OMB some serious poo poo? Why is the CAP president up for this?

At least Pete scuttled his run in order to screw over Sanders and is getting his unjust reward. Neera has to be some favor to Clinton or something which makes it even more ridiculous.
Neera and Pete are fantastic at sucking up to billionaires and gutting entitlements

On paper, Young is way more qualified than Tanden and still ticks all the POC optics boxes that dems can't shut up about, which makes me suspect the Tanden nomination was either a half-hearted favor or a total pantomime done for political theater that all sides could benefit from.
no I'm sure they really want Neera because they value her kind of loyalty above everything else

It's kind of funny because if you do even the most cursory reading on American presidents and their administrations, you quickly find out that "values loyalty over everything else" has been something that every single one of them has practiced

the extra funny thing about this is the implication that Biden's team thought they had at least one GOP person on Neera's side so they wouldn't need Bernie at all here

Marjorie Taylor Greene is being puffed up by the media and dems in power. she has little to no power except what they give her, by constantly discussing her nonsense. Dem's refuse to take any of several measures which would actually curtail her career.

This is very necessary as Biden's picks and policies have been lackluster, to actively terrible.
I'm sure rerunnning the Pied Piper strategy won't have any long-term consequences

Are they still basing eligibility on 2019 tax returns, or are they adding an option for using 2020 income? That was always the dumbest part. Phase it out for rich people, sure, that's dumb, but whatever. But basing it on pre-pandemic income is inexcusable.
