Progressives Patient With Negotiations As Manchin, Sinema Sabotage Build Back Better Bill - TRMS

[Rhiannon12866]

Rep. Pramila Jayapal, chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, talks with Rachel Maddow about some of the priorities that her caucus insists on being included in President Biden's Build Back Better bill, the recalcitrance of Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, and her refusal to allow an arbitrary deadline to force a bad deal on the bill's contents. Aired on 10/27/2021.

1. WHY are Progressives being Patient?

I wouldn't be bothered in the least to see torch-carrying mobs outside Joey and Kyrsty's houses!

2. Progressives are being patient

means they will not vote for the infrastructure bill unless there are votes for the Build Back Better Bill.

3. Sabotoge is the correct word.

4. what's next?

My thoughts: At this juncture I think they should go ahead and pass the infrastructure bill. Get what they can on reconciliation, work like hell to unseat Krysten and Joe and elect real Democrats, and continue to introduce bills on the rest of the reconciliation items. We're getting nowhere fast and Democrats are losing face as time goes on.. and on... It doesn't have to be done all at once.

5. Punish these nitwit traitors. New verb: to Manchin a bill.
