If Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are dead againt getting rid of the filibuster. Then how do you blame the democratic party and Schumer?
This is just propaganda talk coming from a guy who is anti the democratic party.
There are other work arounds.

The best keep the fillibuster just go back to the old method where you actually have to get up there and talk for 8-24 hrs.

I am still pissed off at the eight Democrats who didn’t vote for the $15 an hour part of the Covid relief bill but Bernie Sanders did drop the ball.

The sad thing about this is the people of West Virginia needs the most help and he’s throwing them under the bus the Democrats need a primary him.
For right now in the immediate present. The people in his state need to jam his phone lines, text, emails, social media, etc....
Show up at his house, his place of business, the places he frequent, etc.....in masses and let him know what they want/need and what he should do.
If that aint happening, then it's just approval on how he's moving.

Mitch will be 86 by the time his term is up.
He might die before he finishes his term.....ugly fucker.
I'm sure he wouldn't pursue another term well into his 90s
Never put such fuckery passed these folks. The fact that we have and had people on the Supreme Court and lower courts who are pushing 90 should tell you that.

Not to be a buzzkill but people do know that the Dems aren't a "progressive" party

They are center left - progressives want to bitch about how ppl from places they would never go are thinking then talk about how they want a coalition

A coalition means you're going to have ppl who dont agree on everything

Most of the Dems that voted no are from places that are pretty conservative and those pols are there to represent those states not the "progressive" people of other states

The issue is that Progressives bet all their chips on one thing rather than have a backup plan for when they don't get what they aim for and then they bitch and complain about how shit isn't fair

No its fair you just didn't get your way and you didn't plan on what to do if you got that outcome

The shit is infantile and its why I dont fux with progressives because a lot of them come across as whiny bitches when they don't get their way just as much as religious conservatives do

Looks like they got a deal.

Smh that it’s taking all that :smh:




“We have reached a compromise that enables the economy to rebound quickly while also protecting those receiving unemployment benefits from being hit with [an] unexpected tax bill next year,” Manchin said in a statement.”

I been on unemployment since April of last year. I definitely got hit with taxes, but I knew at least that fed and state had to come out. I just didn’t know the exact amount. After doing my calculations, it’s around 18% fed and 10% state. I had 10% fed and 5% state coming out, so I ended up owing.

It would be real nice if the government can give back the percentage I had to pay. I don’t want to be on unemployment even though I appreciate the extra time on my hand, but I did make 30k less last year from my job than I have in previous years. I ended up withdrawing out of my 401k just to ensure I could have access to my money without issue.

The extended unemployment benefits are great, but they keep taking like it’s the people that will be discouraged to want to return to work because of extended benefits. Well, what about those companies that furloughed their full time employees and won’t hire them back full time because of the unemployment benefits? They always talking about what workers won’t do, but never what the cooperations won’t do.

I can bet you my left leg the only reason I am still furloughed is because I am receiving unemployment and my job knows it. They’ll never admit it because they’ll swear they have lost money, when in reality they haven’t.

At least 5 full time employees got furlough at my campus. That’s a minimum of at least $100k saved. We have 12 campuses, so at minimum $1.2 million saved. So I’m guessing the true number is more on the lines of over $3 million saved by the Jew bastard in charge.

Your analysis isn't wrong, but the problem is that the end result of Dem infighting is usually ceding control to the GOP. And Republicans, despite their differences, are way better at rallying together and pushing things through whether their base reps support it or not.

The only reason we know names like Collins and Murkowski is because they voice objections all of the time when Republicans put forth bills and appointees and the like. But 90 some-odd percent of the time, no matter how much they're uncertain, they usually end up voting right along with the rest of the pack.

I think one of the main issues with the minimum wage hike battle is that this is the one progressive idea (if you can even call it progressive) that is supported by a fair majority of the people. If you can't get a popular concept like raising the minimum wage through the gates, you have little to no shot at something much less popular or controversial. Progressives are putting all of their eggs in this basket because it's the best basket they have. And centrist Dems are content with tipping it over regardless.

I bet they try to talk Manchin into switching parties.



Again, redirecting to the previous post I just made. They worried about working not wanting to return and not saying a word about the employers that keep the workers unemployed because they are receiving unemployment benefits.

most do not understand words and meanings. “Liberal” and “progressive” are not the same or similar but people that aren’t well read think they are.

Now that people like a congresswoman Omar are admitting that Trump and the Republicans did more for Americans than Biden and the Democrats, they are in trouble.

Damn, there is always a tweet.
What did I tell you about what my grandmother said about listening to hungry ass people? Don’t listen to them?

In old enough to remember when Chuck and The Native American said they wanted $50k student loan cancellation.

People say a lot of things. People don’t do much.

He'll be gone in two years. He's trying to give his job to the coon AG protégé.

The Republican Party message is fuck non whites. The democrats say their message is fuck most non whites. However, I can’t help but think they really mean all.

And folks wonder why white, union members didn’t vote for Joe in PA? White people know white people.
