1. Build Back Barely

That's what we'll get

[AZSkiffyGeek]

2. Interesting way of negotiating

Attack fellow Democrats whose vote you need… it’s worked so well so far.

3. People who are not acting in good faith deserve all the criticism they receive.

I'm not a fan of hypocrites and liars but maybe you feel differently.

4. You mean people who won't vote for the presidents agenda?

The six in the House? Or the one who has a 100% record with the President?

6. They could commit to voting for BBB like the CPC did with BIF.

I'm still waiting for that.

8. They're waiting to see the bill's score

Is that unreasonable?

[LonePirate]

10. Yes, it is unreasonable considering they completely ignored the CBO for BIF and the JCT's BBB score.

Guess what the JCT ruled for BBB? It was fully paid for unlike the ~$250B added to the debt with BIF. They are not being genuine about their deficit concerns for BBB.

5. I believe at this point

the entire gamut has been tried but as they said in the Vietnam movie Hamburger Hill, "It don't mean nothing."

7. Not siccing your Twitter following on them

To chase them in bathrooms, pound on their cars, grab them in airports. That might work.

9. It was only a matter of time before the name calling started.

Is Nancy a conservative Democrat? Is Jayapal? Is Joe Biden?

Just stop the infighting please!

12. This!

[Uncle Joe]

11. I don't believe ANYTHING will work, anything reasonable for the average American.

If the BBB were to stroke mega-corporations and oligarchs I'm sure they would be highly enthusiastic.

Personally I'm not for chasing anyone into a bathroom or pounding on their car, I believe that's counter productive however insofar as messaging in real time, ie: Twitter to the American People, I would never give that up.

Simply put, the First Amendment is the greatest power we have in holding our political leaders and lesser politicians to account and it's the best way to keep a running tab on history.

13. Twitter is good but easily manipulated and weaponized

Falsehoods spread like wildfire, context and nuance are often missing, and it’s very easy to set a mob on people.
I love Twitter, but I also kinda hate it.

[Uncle Joe]

14. I have a similar view of the corporate media.

Information is power and it can be constructive or destructive, just as fire.

15. Damn right Bernie!

Progressives have done more to advance Joe Biden's agenda than "those other two" have. Let's not forget it.
