The last thing we need are more progressive democrats. We need more centrists who are willing to put what's good for the entire country over what’s good for them as individuals or for their party. The founders designed the government to operate on the basis of compromise to limit the damage extremeists of any stripe could do.And we need to change that… by electing more progressive Democrats so we aren’t dependent on dishonest corporate shills like him and Sinema
The filibuster is important because it forces compromise. Compromise is important.What’s there to fix when one party sits on their hands? As far as I can tell, voters aren’t going to clear house so really the only thing that could allow for the free flow of ideas is eliminating the filibuster. That’s a whole other shitshow though.
The problem with that is that’s what Tip O’Neil and the democrats promised both Reagan and Bush 1. After they got their tax increases they reneged on cutting spending. No sane person trusts democrat promises any more.The Biden' McConnell approach back in Obama's second term was more in line with "cut the inevitable increases in spending due to medicare and soc sec." The problem was less severe because not so many boomers retired, and now with the pandemic people are retiring earlier, we have fewer paying payroll taxes, and inflation .... maybe not so much except for food and petrol.
But Red Bernie and AOC will act like they're being raped if we even cut COLAs, and they want to expand the programs with deficit dollars because they want us to choose between retirement and natl defense ..... because they are appeasing socialists. And inevitably, we have to raise the age where workers can retire with full benefits.
I believe McConnell would have accepted maybe $1 in taxes for $3-4 in reduced future expenditures.
You mean politician promises.The problem with that is that’s what Tip O’Neil and the democrats promised both Reagan and Bush 1. After they got their tax increases they reneged on cutting spending. No sane person trusts democrat promises any more.
Reagan never cut taxes. To be overly fair, he may have considered that we'd have a "peace dividend" it the cold war ended, but even if he knew that as bs, and my guess is he did, if spending is less than gnp growth the effect of deficits is less. And HW? get outta here. He raised taxes to pay for the S&L bailouts. But the govt actually got the money back when it sold off the property of the bankrupt S&LsThe problem with that is that’s what Tip O’Neil and the democrats promised both Reagan and Bush 1. After they got their tax increases they reneged on cutting spending. No sane person trusts democrat promises any more.
You can certainly refrain from adding more wood to the pile, like $5 trillion in new spending.You can't freeze spending with more people drawing on medicare and soc sec everyday.... and the trend will continue for a decade or two.

Wow, just look at the good little fascists in here…Dem Senators are all good unless they actually stand on their principles….Then the long knives come out…Lock step, or the highway.A coal Barron could be expected to be a difficult sale on fossil fuel reductions. Manchin has a weakness though, and without sinema wouLd be much more amenable.
Sinema is the real issue. She ran as a Democrat to get elected, and now she's voting like a republican to get rich. She's already torched her political career, now she's just milking this for every penny she can before she has to go job hunting. But she has no handles and is getting millions in donations from big pharma and big oil to torpedo the Democratic legislation in question.
Primary Sources: The Know Nothings
The Corporations are only on the Dem's side because the Republicans have completely lost their minds.Manchin represents a state that Biden couldn’t win one county in.
It’s fascinating to watch this crowd try to figure out how and why the country is such a complete mess. You complain about “corporatism” yet all the major corporations are firmly on the Dem’s side as they gleefully enact illegal mandates and fire employees during a huge labor shortage.
Wow... always trying to find the cloud, eh?You can’t engineer the destruction of a nation faster than what this completely failed regime is doing. Higher energy costs, broken transportation sector, hospitals overrun while firing nurses for wrong think, and what little manufacturing we have people are walking off the job.
Um, yeah. No riots in the streets.But hey, at least it’s not Orange Dictator, right?
The Democrats can't work with Democrats because Joe Manchin won't let Biden and Pelosi f* our kids' and grandkids' future for self-serving pork and leftist extremists bullshit nowPretty amazing, watching the Democrats turn their political advantage in a full scale circus like this. The current bill they're working on changes every 30 seconds or so, as Manchin and Sinema make them reduce or throw out more and more of Biden's agenda.
I'll give them credit, in that at least they're trying to fund their massive spending (unlike we saw in the previous administration), but they're having one helluva time getting their shit together, and it's playing out in public. And holy crap, is it ever awkward.
So we're seeing it yet again: The party in power trying to cram through its agenda with the thinnest of margins, only making itself look bad in the process while trying desperately to put lipstick on a pig. Right on cue. Over and over and over.
Why do we keep seeing this? Because communication, collaboration and innovation between the parties is no longer allowed. We've lost that capacity. We literally no longer know how to work together to deal with issues. We're no longer exceptional.
Will we learn this time? Will this be the time we finally wake up? Nope.
