Will Manchin and Sinema crack?

Probably not after tonight’s results in Virginia and New Jersey. Hopefully this will focus the democrats on core issues.

Unlikely, but a first step would be to come home from that stupid global warming conference attended by actors and billionaires flying in on private jets.

They ARE focused on core issues, FFS. American voters - a majority - favor issues like infrastructure, education, paid leave, higher taxes for the uber rich, lower drug prices. And that’s across party lines. There is increasing concern about climate change. And yet, we have two senators and a completely obstructionist GOP that want to derail these very core issues that are not only broadly popular but also affect so many if not all Americans in some way, shape, or form.

If this were true, why cant democrats scrape together enough senators to pass the bill? It is delusion that everyone wants this.

Will they crack? I think the bigger question is whether they walk!

Definitely time to walk. The Democrats need to refocus on high inflation, the low GDP, food shortages and high gas prices.

Not this BS.

Is the VA election a message that BBB should have been passed so the Dems could show they accomplished something?

Or is it a message that BBB was an overreach and the Dems shouldn’t continue with it?

Or is it a message that the voters of this country can still easily be stirred up and mobilized by Trump-like race-baiting, antiLGBTQI sentiment, etc.

Personally, I am horrified to admit that, IMO, it is the latter and that the prospects for a TRUMp re-election are strong no matter what Dems do.

Wrong. It’s a message that the BBB is an overreach and they need to refocus on high gas prices, food shortages and inflation.

The House is sounding a little desperate here. Guess we know who cracked. Wasn't Manchin or Sinema.

THIS.

And to answer the other PP’s pitiful “why can’t they scrape together the votes?”: the GOP isn’t interested in governing, but especially not when it might give the Democrats a win. Why can’t any of the allegedly “moderate” Republicans come together on this? They see the same polls, how popular this is. They’re just being obstructionists because they’re buttholes.

Proving that Manchin and Sinema are kindergartners in a sea of Democrats who want to make progress.

I'm very proud of Manchin for being gutsy enough to stand up to all the ezcessove spending.

If they removed paid leave and CTC it would pass (and it would drop below Manchin's monetary cutoff.)
