yikes, spoke too soon. Turns out the progressives are caving after all and didn't publicize it yesterday: https://www.politico.com/playbook
the devil is in the detail, what they think they are agreeing too may not be reality so it remains to be seen how this plays out
Looks like this is also a lie by Politico. The Democrats have agreed on NOTHING. Right now Biden's guy Ron Klain is publicly undermining everything Manchin has said he wanted. There is a very very nasty civiil ar going on behind the scenes and I still think it won't end well for them
stay tuned

You might think the progressives could not be this stupid, ok maybe you did lol, but they did it, they just tanked the Democrats for years to come. They just now refused to bring the bipartisan infrastructure bill to a vote as Pelosi & Biden demanded because they didn't get their way on their 10 year net $6 trillion dollar welfare reconciliation bill
There is NO WAY MANCHIN will give an inch more than he did to get the 1.75T framework, the progressives played their hand to the maximum possible and were not smart enough to take it.
Now there is NO DEAL to push McAuliffe in the Virginia governor's election on Tuesday and the Democrat party is now in full civil war. They will not get anything done, no welfare bill, no infrastruture bill, no nothing heading into an election year in 2022.
The progressives are done, they are finished. They will NEVER come close again to this much power. All downhill from here
RIP and good riddance
Dems punt House infrastructure vote in blow to Biden agenda
The left is frustrated over pared-back social spending. Speaker Nancy Pelosi wanted to show momentum on Thursday https://www.politico.com/news/2021/1...mocrats-517416
Liberals are a royal PITA. Even the sane democrats are now coming to understand this.
Perhaps you should mind them. Not your every day Democrat citizen, but definitely the power structure of the Party itself.
It's the "moderates" who opened the door and let the "Progressive" Wolf in, after all...
The Democrat politicians are almost all to blame.
(Not including Manchin, Sinema and a few others....all who are American heroes.)
They wanted a "D" in office and didn't seem to care that it was progressives/socialists running under that "D" ticket.
But now there are enough progressives/socialists elected into Congress to start making a difference.
A few more elections and they will have the power.
And that is because people are loyal to the party and really have no idea that their Democratic Party is being taken over by the Progressives/Socialists.
DSA is the future face of the Democratic Party folks unless the Dems wake up and know who they are voting for.
Just because they run under the Dem ticket does not mean they are a Dem.
So what's wrong with woke culture? Because it's all about rampant racism against white people?
No, mostly because it's a bunch of cultural zealots trying to enforce their will of what is allowed and acceptable and what is not upon everyone else.
We don't need a new generation of bitter church ladies telling everyone else what you are allowed to wear, what jokes you can make, what hairstyles are permissible and so forth.

They are hypersensitive and want the world to be sanitized and re-labeled so everyone can be happy and no one will be upset over mere words.
I keep hoping that the sane democrats on the moderate side wake the hell up and grab their party back from the whack job progressives.
I think that signs are starting to appear that moderates are getting very fed up with Progressives. One of the major clues for me is the recent narrowing in the Virginia governors race.
Also, my husband and I were discussing this just today -- that the problem is (and of course I am speaking generally) is that moderates and older people tend to be more polite and passive that "firebrand" liberals. I think that many moderates are finally having enough of being pushed around by what is probably, imo, a very small minority.
Hannity said it best last night: If AOC and "Da Skqwad" continue to say no and back down, then they're all fakes and are swamp creatures like the rest of them.
