1. Ic more big dems had campaigned in Wisconsin

North Carolina to pick up some House and Senate seats, the Dems might get more ideals.

Senator Warren, don’t be Ralph Nader or Susan Sarandon.

[ProfessorGAC]

2. Don't Like It

I don't like the economy being held hostage, no matter who is doing it.

[Cha]

8. Not surprised.

[walkingman]

9. It would prevent Biden from using an Executive Order further extend student loan repayments.

[Beautiful Disaster]

15. It's still lying.

Biden had no intention of extending the forgiveness, hence why he was going to let it lapse in September (or August) anyway. Biden made that clear when he announced his forgiveness plan.

[walkingman]

18. If SCOTUS overturns the Student Loan deal he might once again do it? Keep your powder dry.

[Fiendish Thingy]

28. She's not lying - her comments are accurate

For her these program cuts/caps are deal breakers.

Others can swallow the bitter pill, knowing there are other benefits gained from passing the bill.

[walkingman]

4. I agree with her.

[Cha]

7. Oh you want us to Default and

those of us who get SS to LIVE NOT to GET OUR MONEY.. That We've Earned through a Life Time of Working?

[walkingman]

10. I support Elizabeth Warren - a Democrat. I am on SS myself so of course I want my check.

There is no reason to cave to the GOP simply because they are irresponsible.

[Cha]

12. It's Not "caving".. Pres Biden got

a good deal and Warren is Wrong.

[mahina]

20. Warren is positioning to get some concessions for a later yes

And the other progressives are too. My best ti leaf reading.

[Demsrule86]

19. Elizabeth Warren doesn't understand that a compromise is needed which is why she was my second

choice in 20. I like her but you have to be able to look at the big picture and compromise in governing.

[edisdead]

41. yer gonna be broke.

Hope you have a large savings and no bills. Good luck!

[walkingman]

42. They are simply playing hard ball knowing that someone will blink. I wouldn't

negotiate with terrorists.

[edisdead]

46. playing anything with this many peoples lives seems stupid to me

[Skittles]

17. no, we just don't like negotiating with terrorists

no indeed

[Cha]

23. We have to WIN Back

the House in 2024.

In the meantime.. Thank you Pres Biden.. I don't want to be kicked out in the Street bc I and Millions don't have our Social Security Checks each month. And, the Economy gets Blown UP.

[mvd]

25. We're in the same situation there

My mom’s whole income is SS. I am an admirer of Warren’s but I don’t see any other options now to avoid default.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

32. If ssi disability gets cuts

Because of the damn republicans extorting our country and he lets them fuck us disabled and poor people over to appease monsters I will be unable to forgive Biden for it. I will still vote for him to stop the fascist pig republicans,but it will become a hold your nose and vote situation.

[Elessar Zappa]

43. There's no cuts to SS in this bill.

Biden wouldn’t let that happen.

[GoodRaisin]

37. Agree with her or not, she's putting what we negotiated in perspective.

No need for anyone to take victory laps, other than avoid the default.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

5. Reading between the lines, they've got the votes

If she’s a no they must have some Republicans to offset.

[EarnestPutz]

16. There you go, this makes perfect sense. If anything is in Senator Warren's wheelhouse it's....

.....pushing back on the worst aspects of this bill.

[Grasswire2]

26. exactly

She's a foil here.

[Fiendish Thingy]

29. Exactly- she's been given leeway to oppose the bill, to give cover to some Republicans to vote yes.

The narrative is “if Warren is against it, then I (GOP senator) can vote for it and take less political damage”

This is politics theatre, folks.

[Hortensis]

31. :) Umhm. She followed her "Those things are bad. Really bad."

with

“I’m weighing it against the fact that the Republicans are hostage takers and they’re willing to blow up the economy and destroy our good name across the world, and the Democrats are called on once again to be the grown-ups in the room.

And the grown-ups in the room are the ones who have to make hard choices. while the not-grown-ups keep having tantrums that hurt people across this country."

[Fiendish Thingy]

33. Yes indeed. Was there a point I missed? Nt

[bottomofthehill]

36. Does this not make her

Not one of the grown ups in the room. Her inability to vote yes for the best deal they can get passed?

[Hortensis]

38. I believe she'll vote yes. The parts I underlined are

her explaining the HUGE need to pass this agreement.

* Statement of strong factional/ideological disapproval for the headline.
* Explanation of need to vote for it anyway.
* Reassurance that we're the grownups able to make hard choices and do what needs to be.

This is a very common pattern.

[yardwork]

34. Agreed. This is strategy.

[Cha]

6. Hey! What's going to take

food out of Poor People mouths is going into Default and not getting our SS Checks and Blowing up the Fucking Economy.

She better Not cause that to happen. From what I've read that's NOT what's happening with the deal.

[Cha]

11. The Replies I read are NOT

impressed.

[BlueTsunami2018]

13. They must have the votes otherwise.

Same thing with the Republicans screeching. The votes are there so some people can stand on “principle”.

[honest.abe]

14. Meanigless protest vote.. nothing more.

There will be plenty of yay votes for this coming from both sides.

[sprinkleeninow]

21. It's kinda the 'appearance'? nt

[TomSlick]

22. Senator Warren is smarter than this.

If the Democrats do not support this deal, they will be responsible for the economic collapse and SS retirees and military retirees not getting their necessary payments.

I hope she is posturing.

[NowISeetheLight]

24. We Know

The whole MagaT Freedom Caucus will vote against it
I'm hopeful there won't be a lot of Democrats voting against it. The reality is I think this will pass. Not appearing too "extreme" and "fringe" in the vote is some Democrats can use in the next election. Republicans want to crash the economy. They'll fail. But let them go on the record trying. Don't join them.

[Mark.b2]

27. I have no doubt she dislikes the bill...

But, if they needed her vote for it to pass, she'd fall in line faster than a Baptist at a church potluck. I don't find that position all that unreasonable, actually.

Anyway, this will give her a couple days to scold some folks. There's no one better at it!

[doc03]

30. I just heard her a minute ago saying Republicans are holding

us hostage and willing to crash the economy and I read here she is a no vote.

[Seasider]

35. Someone needs to tell her we are out of time

I don’t like the cuts either but the U.S going into default will be much worse.

[Cha]

39. Larry O'Donnell on "Biden WON""..

[edisdead]

40. More people will get benefits. Stupid take.

[Trenzalore]

44. She really should have kept quiet until the House voted

If the GOP manages to sabotage this and it goes down in the House, the entire blame is on the GOP.

She is decent at running for Senate in a solidly blue state. She isn't good for national politics.

[Elessar Zappa]

45. I understand her position.

I also understand that this was the best we could hope for in a Republican-controlled House.
