Biden is destroying his own Presidency. He won the nomination because the voters rejected the Sanders/Warren vision of things, and now Joe is attempting to do just that. Lots of Dem voters are pissed. They don't want this crap. If they did Bernie would have won. Now Joe is kissing everyone's ass. The whole thing is a clusterf*ck.
When Manchin loses in 2024 it will send a message to other and future democrats not to be like him. Im voting republican in 2024 to send a message to future democrat presidents not to be like Biden.
Progressives and minorities don't give a shit about the infrastructure bill,thats not why they came out in record numbers and voted for him.That's why his approval ratings are still at 40% after it passed.In 2024 progressive and black voter turnout will be lower than Hillarys.He will lose badly and will take Jimmy Carters place in political history.
And his approval rating with black voters is down 20 points since he took office.They will be staying home in 2024 which means Biden is toast.
Can you imagine if Senator Joe Manchin did actually, switch parties? Extreme liberal Democrats will roll on the floor and cry like the little babies that they are. Then, the Republicans gain the majority with 51 votes. That would be a very big bitch slap to the extreme liberals like Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Manchin is a corrupt POS and likely a GOP plant. Dems including progressives treating him with kids gloves achieved nothing, again
Unfortunately the damage is done, asshole should've been broken 6 months ago. Biden is lame duck now so it'd just be posturing at this point
In Trenton, NJ the infrastructure bill is a big deal. We built a highway through Trenton with a tunnel that forces trucks into city streets that actually cut off the city from the riverfront. Totally screwed a lot of blue collar minority home owners. We will be using funds from the infrastructure bill to fix that and it’s big deal here. Bonnie Watson Coleman worked hard to get that funding and it’s going transform a large section of Trenton. Lots of things like that will be happening all across this country. But again I make this point to the right wingers on this board and it goes right over their heads too, progressives are not the base of the democrat party. The base of the party has real priorities and are interested in getting things done, not fighting all of the time.
