51. The Progressives aren't fucking around and grandstanding. You must have them confused
Wed Nov 3, 2021, 01:42 PM
Nov 2021

with a couple of "moderates" who are doing their best to fuck President, his agenda, the American people and the Democratic party in 2022. Blaming the Progressives is bullshit. They have done all the can to get those 2 lousy votes. All that's left is for them to tear up everything and tell Manchin and Sinema to write the bill themselves and they will vote for it.

All this for one greedy little man. rickyhall Nov 2021 #1
