Kick that fricker to the curb. Strip him of all committee assignments, shun and ostracize him. Literally no member of the Democrat party should speak to him, answer his calls, emails or messages. Take away all of his privileges. The entire party should turn their backs to him whenever he enters a room or speaks.
If they don’t expel him from the party I’m not giving a dime, time or a vote to the Democratic Party nationally again.
He lied to all of us. He fricking lied. He waited until the "bi-partisan" bill passed, and then on a slow news day right before Christmas, he suddenly lets it drop that he can't support this bill? No, this was his plan from the start. He lied to all of us.

This is the real reason why censoring naughty words is bad. Poltards leaking out into the normal internet and calling people of every single race (including yts) "BIPOCs" was always my favorite.

This whole saga has been so fricking dumb. I try not to serious post on politics here because it triggers avon, but manchin had one simple request that he was steadfastly repeating since the summer: Bring the cost down to 1.5T. Progressives wouldn't do it. In fact they didn't bring it down at all, literally didn't cut a single thing, just reduced the program durations so that the numbers would match manchin's limit with the open intention of making them permanent once manchin was no longer an obstacle.
The holding up of the bipartisan infrastructure bill, constantly shifting deadlines, promises of votes that never happened, the squad voting against infrastructure, these people are just idiots. If they had stripped the bill of every single thing except for the child tax credit, it would have been half manchin's limit, sailed through, and benefited the exact people they wanted to help for 10 years.
But progressives in the house would never go for it because they for some reason are under the impression that a 50-50 senate split and virtual 50-50 house split gives them some sort of mandate to pass the biggest spending bill of all time.
Better for dramacoin though.

Manchin (and Sinema) are just the Dem fall guys. They're hard at work to paint them as crypto-republicans so that when the bill inevitably fails, they'll be able to deflect blame toward the red team like they always do. If they had focused on pressuring the Progressive peepee sus instead, they'd have passed a slightly watered-down version of the bill a long time ago and raked in a big political win. Im an r-slur but they want to lose the midterms.

It’s all intentional, the worst thing they could do is attach their side to a law that might look bad in 10 years, they all keep getting elected after years of doing nothing

You forgot the funniest part:
The bipartisan infrastructure bill should have been a huge political win for Democrats. However, since they're pissing and pooping themselves over BBB, they completely forgot to market their actually successful bill, basically ensuring Biden remains one-term.

You're absolutely right, they should have taken more victory laps and kept rubbing it in trump's face, although without the twitter medium at his disposal the seethe isn't quite as instantaneous and enjoyable

The dude's from a state that went for Trump by like 20 points. What do these people expect? If you have 50 Democratic senators, a bill can only pass if your least liberal Senator supports it. None of the negotiators were really engaging with what he was saying.

How can something that big ride on one single vote? don't you guys have 300 members or something? Reminds me of the last Curb episode where his vote was deciding.

It only rides on 1 vote because the 50 republican votes don't matter because anyone right of center is a garbage piece of subhuman trash so they don't count DUHHHH

You're thinking of the House. He's a senator and the senate is currently a 50-50 split. The least liberal Democratic senator can effectively shut down everything if you're trying to push through bills with no Republican support.

I think it's because they need 60 votes in the Senate and don't have any to spare

They can pass a bill with 50 votes, but only a few times a year under certain circumstances. For this spending they'd only need 50.
