People act like Democrats were just ignoring what people wanted, while Republican politicians and judges were blocking them every step of the way.

Joe Manchin was a Democrat when he blocked BBB. He was a Democrat when he killed the expanded child tax credit and doubled child poverty in the US overnight. Sinema was a Democrat when she delivered the thumbs down that remains the party's last word on the minimum wage.

We saw Democrats get in their own way over and over during this administration.

Ordering us to be happy when we saw what happened is no different than ordering someone who can't afford groceries to be happy that the economy is working great for billionaires.

Manchin wouldn't have mattered if there weren't dozens of Republicans voting against it too.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Republicans voted with their party.

So did Manchin.

[-] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

The Republican party is the problem. Manchin is irrelevant.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Manchin did what you wanted him to and so you're deflecting.

[-] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Manchin is the deflection. He's a scapegoat for Republican obstruction

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Democrats had a majority. Manchin decided to vote with Republicans and Democratic Party leadership.

[-] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

What the fuck are you talking about?

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Nothing you won't deliberately misunderstand.
