Meme on AOC: Biden doesn't stand for all the values I do. But I would rather fight for those things in a landscape

80. Funny thing that. ALL of the major big ticket items in Biden's agenda that were blocked were blocked by

centrists and conservative Dems, including Manchin, Sinema, the House Blue Dogs, and the No Labels spawned Problem Solverd House caucus, whi worked hand in glove with Manchim and Sinema.

The progressives not only did NOT block a single one pr part of Biden's big ticket agenda items, they fought like hell against the centrist and conservative Dems to try and get them passed.

So there is your actual purity test. Just not the way some here try to spin it.

The furthesst to therightward direction of the Dem party almost always has to get it's way or they far too often block things or take an axe to them (like the 2 Biden infrastructure bills, where the centrists and conservative Dems roreoff over 5.1 trillion USD in new spend from Bidens two frameworks (his had 6.1 trillion USD in new soend), leaving only a total of 985 billion USD in new spend for BOTH bils combined, spread out over ten years).

The progresssives accepted an over 90% reduction from their original two frameworks. They reduced nothing for Biden's frameworks, they blocked nothing in the Biden frameworks.
