These nine democrats that are doing the chamber of commerce bidding are showing their true colors

I support speaker pelosi and president Biden!

I don’t have a problem if there’s compromise involved but it seems these nine are trying to wreck everything

The term corporate Democrat is really silly. I am not offended by this but I read all of the Justice Democrat emails just to laugh at the stupidity of these emails. Heck, I have even listed to the Justice Democrat silly podcast which is amusingly called “Just Us” (you cannot make this up). The Just Us Dems love to use the corporate Democrat attack which is so dumb that it is funny

Infrastructure bill first?

Easy because they know that the reconciliation bill would lose leverage because some politicians don’t want to raise taxes on the ultra rich

They object to the demands of some to tie or condition the two bills. The sooner that we pass the non partisan bill the faster we can get projects started

Do you mean they're bribed by corporations and corrupt? I see anti-Democratic groups use "corporate Democrats" all the time as an insult to mean they're corrupt and the same as Republicans. I always wonder how they know they've been bribed. If they know, why not tell us by whom and how much and how those politicians have changed their votes because of money? Wouldn't it be more likely that they're representing more conservative places than that they're ideologically bankrupt criminals?

I thought the usual term was moderate Democrats.

corporate dems because they are unwilling to raise taxes on corporations and/or billionaires?

I thought they were "threatening to vote against the fiscal 2022 budget resolution until the House passes and President Joe Biden signs the Senate-passed bipartisan infrastructure bill."

Did I miss anything? Also, is insisting on Biden's agenda being implemented, albeit in a particular sequence, synonymous to sabotaging it?

What would you do if you saw a post asking why the four welfare state socialist dems are showing their true colors when they try to derail Biden's agenda? You would have every right to alert such post:

No divisive group attacks
Do not smear, insult, vilify, bait, maliciously caricature, or give disrespectful nicknames to any groups of people that are part of the Democratic coalition, or that hold viewpoints commonly held by Democrats, or that support particular Democratic public figures. Do not imply that they are fake Democrats, fake progressives, conservatives, right-wingers, Republicans, or the like.
