Trust me, I'm not a fan of either, but I do know without them, Mitch McConnell would be holding the gavel. Go figure.

Oh, I'm sure he will vote for it PatSeg Aug 2022 #47

That's where he feels he has found his "power". MrsCoffee Aug 2022 #82

Yes it falls short of what we need. Manchin and Sinema were involved in making sure of that. . Autumn Aug 2022 #6

Yup, you're EXACTLY right Autumn... InAbLuEsTaTe Aug 2022 #13

Bernie.... You are not helpful. LakeArenal Aug 2022 #9

Your right, Bernie is MORE of a Democrat; just look at his stellar progressive voting record. InAbLuEsTaTe Aug 2022 #14

Bernie is very helpful. More so than the democrats Manchin and Sinema Autumn Aug 2022 #21

Not at the moment he isn't. LakeArenal Aug 2022 #22

No he's not, but he makes a better Democrat than some democrats, like a certain couple of them. Autumn Aug 2022 #27

It's the truth and so long as he votes for it I have no problem with him saying so Tom Rinaldo Aug 2022 #10

Yes, but when it comes to Bernie, regrettably, sometimes the truth takes a back seat. InAbLuEsTaTe Aug 2022 #15

You can say that again. BannonsLiver Aug 2022 #50

Hahahaha, ok!! Yes, but when it comes to Bernie, regrettably, sometimes the truth takes a back seat. InAbLuEsTaTe Aug 2022 #52

No argument here! BannonsLiver Aug 2022 #54

I see what you did there!👌🏼 Tarheel_Dem Aug 2022 #72

It's my opinion. I don't like Bernie. I did a couple past lives ago but not now LakeArenal Aug 2022 #31

Can't see why you say that...most peeps LOVE em some Bernie, includin me!! InAbLuEsTaTe Aug 2022 #53

What are you trying to say? LakeArenal Aug 2022 #65

The truth is still the truth... and Bernie brings it every day like no other! InAbLuEsTaTe Aug 2022 #68

No. Sorry it is still an opinion. LakeArenal Aug 2022 #78

That is a very good point. It does fall short. But we need to pass it. It is the best we can do. Demsrule86 Aug 2022 #44

At least this time TxGuitar Aug 2022 #11

Berine, why are you never happy with incremental progress? tinrobot Aug 2022 #12

The problem with your incremental progress is that Republicans come along and Autumn Aug 2022 #29

The didn't happen with the ACA...I can't think what the GOP has done like this but Demsrule86 Aug 2022 #45

And your Bernie-style bill means we strike out with Manchin/Sinema tinrobot Aug 2022 #57

We strike out with Manchin and Sinema and get less than the status quo. Autumn Aug 2022 #67

And the way to get more of what we want PatSeg Aug 2022 #37

This is NOT what we need. 🤦🏼‍♀️ onecaliberal Aug 2022 #38

A "Socialist" being disatisfied with how far this bill goes actually helps Democratic messaging Tom Rinaldo Aug 2022 #39

Everyone already knows it's scaled down. Otherwise they would have passed the full monte months ago onecaliberal Aug 2022 #43

That's a good point PatSeg Aug 2022 #51

This is what I like about Bernie mvd Aug 2022 #55
