This new delay is not on the progressives or Biden at all, it is all on Manchin and Sinema.

5. I am still waiting for someone to explain how stripping out massive entire parts and programmes

of a President who campaigned on those very same programmes, and won a crushing popular vote victory by making them central campaign promises us a legit way for certain congressional members to win their races 3 years from now, all whilst knee-capping Biden and most of the rest of the entire Dem caucus in 2022 and 2024.

Do Manchin and Sinema actually think that shredding and binning entire programmes that have MASSIVE approval rates amongst Dems, independents and even some Rethugs will help them and the rest of the party?

ALL of these are extremely popular, all were central Biden agenda and campaign promises:

Family And Medical Leave

Tuition Free Community College

Dental/Vison coverage for Medicare

Prescription Drug Price Negotiation savings

Many of the high earner high income high wealth taxes


Yet out into the trash they have gone, courtesy of Manchin and Sinema, whilst leaving many of the odious Trump tax cuts intact.

Makes zero sense if your objective is to actually help your constituents, and get the Party re-elected plus increase our majorities.

All you need to do is look at the insane gap in net Dem popularity (it was around 140 points net last time I checked) between Kelly and Sinema to see that it is madness.
