Well I think the message is clear for a lot of individuals---slow your roll.
People hate it when you over-promise. Language matters. There's nothing wrong with saying: "we want to pass this legislation", "this is the legislation that is needed", or "our goal is to have enough people in the Congress to assure this legislation will pass". T…
Well I think the message is clear for a lot of individuals---slow your roll.
People hate it when you over-promise. Language matters. There's nothing wrong with saying: "we want to pass this legislation", "this is the legislation that is needed", or "our goal is to have enough people in the Congress to assure this legislation will pass". The message should be followed by the President saying "if you elect the people needed to get it done, I will sign it".
No more false hope, no more fake it till you make it happen, and never act like it is a done-deal.
Exactly. People (except Trumpees) just want the truth of what is possible, not pie-in-the-sky promises.
Beyond Manchin leading Biden, congressional leadership, and the progressive caucus down his primrose path while whittling down the bill to please his true masters on Wall Street, the maddening undemocratic Senate rules, as always, are the biggest stumbling blocks.
The filibuster and the Senate parliamentarian arbitrarily deciding what constitutes spending in a one-shot reconciliation bill, forced Democrats to bite off more than they could chew, even though just about everything in the bill is vitally important after years of neglect.
The sad reality in the end, however, is that ya gotta please the egocentric, grandstanding holdouts to keep a 50-50 Senate majority. Hopefully, they can carve out the most essential parts and pass SOMETHING!
And now, they must throw a voting-rights bill(s) into the witch's brew -- the MOST important promise to the American people.
