[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This should have happened over the summer. But instead of reining in the caucus then, Biden and Pelosi cut the progressives and moderates too much slack -- allowing this damaging and unnecessary political debacle to take place. Sure, the infrastructure bill passed, but only because enough GOP members hopped on board. The division between moderates and progressives is still there.

The jury is still out on the budget reconciliation bill, which still has several hurdles in front of it -- both in the House and Senate.

The Ds need to get their act together fast. They've already damaged themselves politically as thousands of voters switched to GOP candidates in Virginia and New Jersey this past week.[/quote]

The Squad would have voted for it if there weren't GOP votes. Don't kid yourself.[/quote]

No I watched the vote live - only Ayanns Pressley waited til the bill passed with enough votes to down vote it. The Squad is worse than a GOP - they will kill a package with broad party support which hasn’t been seen in decades because it doesn’t have their toys in it. Not only are they unable to get any legislation passed (check their voting history) they’re dangerous because they’re willing to hold up GOOD legislation for 90 days and still not vote it through.

And the GOP’s failure to get in line with what America wants - both bills, that is - is, what? “Boys will be boys”?[/quote]

“America” does not want both bills. Many more people are against the second bill. [/quote]

Link?

Because all of the polling I have seen suggests that the provisions in the BBB hve uniform 65-70% support nationwide.[/quote]

The PP is right. We did not sign up for the social welfare bills. Just normalcy. Glad to see the moderates and independents once more having a voice in the party.

[i]For many voters — especially those who don’t vote regularly — the 2020 election was about removing Mr. Trump from the White House. It was less about policy or ideology. Mr. Biden did not win the Democratic primary because he promised a progressive revolution. There were plenty of other candidates doing that. He captured the nomination — and the presidency — because he promised an exhausted nation a return to sanity, decency and competence. “Nobody elected him to be F.D.R.,” Representative Abigail Spanberger, a moderate Democrat from Virginia, told The Times after Tuesday’s drubbing. “They elected him to be normal and stop the chaos.”[/i]
