(43,115 posts)of Biden's (and most all of the rest of the Dem Caucus) agenda. They have already had deleterious impacts, actual ones, such as a de facto blocking of a Biden nomination (Manchin with Neera Tanden for OMB head) and then, FAR more importantly, shredding off a combined $3.8 trillion (and counting) between the 2 infrastructure bills, shredding out vast parts of Biden's centrepiece programmes, and in multiple cases, the entirety of those programmes.
They have the potential to destroy our chances in 2022 (and thus likely 2024) IF they actually end up completely blocking the BBB and also refuse to allow filibuster carve-outs on the voter rights/protection bills. For all our sakes, the US and indeed the world's, let us all hope they do not go the full block route on the BBB and all the voter bills.
