It is rather amusing to see all these idiots losing minds over this as if Joe Manchin was holding this up all by himself, but he is backed by every Republican in the Senate. The Democrats have no one to blame but themselves for this situation. They made a calculated decision to treat the Republicans as if they did not exist. On anything on which they only needed a simple majority they would simply pass it without any Republican support whatsoever. The tactic worked just fine – until it didn’t.
Democrats expressed outrage Sunday after Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) announced that he would not support President Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better” plan. Manchin revealed on “Fox News Sunday” that he would not only not support the Build Back Better Act, but he would not continue negotiations on the bill moving forward, essentially killing the bill for good. What did the White House say? White House press secretary Jen Psaki released a lengthy statement Sunday — more than 700 words in total — alleging Manchin just days ago was pledging to compromise. However, the writing has been on the wall for months that Manchin would not support the bill despite his efforts to work with Biden.
