He’s the leftwing outsider who nearly became the Democrats’ candidate for president - twice. As his position on the Israel-Gaza war threatens to upset his support, the veteran senator says he’s tired but determined to fight the return of that ‘ bitter, humiliated man’
Nuance glossed over for the sake of partisan shit-flinging:
Yes, reasons. Amazing how Bernie would have had to deal with exactly those same “reasons”, isn’t it?
Oh they’re quite open. Trust me on that.
If only any of these convenient roadblocks and excuses could have stopped him from repeatedly funding and supporting genocide.
You know it’s congress that writes and approves the national budget, which is how funding gets to Israel?
Not when you use delegated authority to bypass congress.
Biden is overriding Congress to send them hundreds of millions in additional child killing bombs.
Let me be clear - Bernie isn’t in office right now. If he were, he’d have likely come up with some way to deal with these two.
It’s really too bad that Mr Biden couldn’t arrange an audience with President Manchin during this time to figure something out, since Manchin is calling all the shots. At least they got some things accomplished together. Any and all applicable environmental regs be damned.
LMFAO. I don’t even know where to start responding to that fanciful poppycock.
A government of multiple representatives from different places who must come to a decision as a group, THE HORROR!!!
Politician negotiates. More at 11.
lol yeah you’re right, Bernie is too nice to have done anything here either, who am I kidding. Successfully navigating these kind of hurdles is not some impossible feat however, despite what the Biden admin and MSNBC might have you think. Consider how FDR dealt with the Dixiecrats. Could Biden have done more along those lines?
Since when are voters represented in Washington? If you’re not a donor, you’ve been left out to dry since the 1970s, full stop. The middle class has been eradicated in this country, if it ever even existed to begin with, and Biden has been a central complicit figure in making that happen.
Negotiates for what? More drilling, more oil and gas subsidies. And a massive handout for Manchin, who if you believe the pathetic Dem excuses, was the primary reason we couldn’t get anything done after electing Dems into a majority. Again, I call bullshit. Biden doesn’t want to do anything to help the people, and it shows in his actions. idgaf what he reads from his speech writers, I care about what he does.
We got four star basement politician over here.
If everything is so easy, why don’t you run for office?
And everyone would get a pony.
