[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]

The GOP - men and women - is the only reason it passed. Compromise. Which the Squad failed to do and has failed to do for three years in office which is why their social welfare bill is dead as a doornail. They wouldn’t even agree to have a means test of a paltry $2,500/yr in income for the CTC. That is just insane. No one can work with that and clearly they didn’t consider they boxed themselves into a corner with no off-ramp by doing so. [/quote]

All the Republicans that voted for this bill are from states and districts that they would lose if they did not vote for this. Hardly a compromise. Democrats championed and overwhelmingly supported this bill.

+1  It was the moderate Rs, for the most part.[/quote]
