I smell defeat brought by one of your own. Just like y’all had fun when McCain derailed plans to rollback Obamacare, we on the right are enjoying the same happening to y’all.

2022 & 2024 are going to be a cakewalk for the GOP. What is going to be funny is the walking back of the “this might be the last midterm/Presidential election of our lifetime” lunacy that will get dropped to gin up support after the losses occur.

Overall, I found the Build Back Better ideals to be over-reaching and I’m not surprised that it’s being cancelled. I also don’t believe it was only Manchin pushing back. I would bet at least 5-10 other Dem senators felt the same but are happy to let manchin take the heat.

biden was elected to not be trump. He doesn’t need to attempt an FDR, LBJ or Obama level social program. 

Overreaching in what ways, specifically?

One bill that addresses free childcare, climate change, some level of reduced/ free college, lower prescription costs, middle class tax breaks, etc, etc.?  It would have been a monstrosity that no one would have fully understood until years after it passed.

there is nothing stopping Biden from tackling each issue one at a time. Biden was going after every legislative issue that Dems care about individually when he doesn’t even have a full majority in the senate. It was doomed to fail. Perhaps Biden even planned it that way so he can say he tried. He now owes no one anything.

go after the tax breaks for the middle class and add higher taxes for the rich.

""When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength," Trump replied.

...and in case you really think the guy who increased socialism to the agricultural sector to compensate for his trade war with China/Ivanka's Business Partners actually gives any/more fucks about Communism v Capitalism than he does about Authoritarianism, his SPECIFIC complaint about the latter days of the old Soviet Union is that they weren't authoritarian enough.

These are policies and programs that benefit people in this country who are more often than not, an afterthought when it come to tax policy There is nothing honorable about going slowly when the needs of common people are urgent. You wanna talk monstrosity? Let talk about an unfunded two trillion dollar tax cut that benefited mostly the wealthy in this country.
