People: "What about the spending bill that's still held up in the Senate, Mr President?"

Biden: "Hey, Shut up! I convinced some Republicans to flip and vote for this so that you'd forget about the bill that Manchin and Sinema are holding hostage!"

Now that this infrastructure bill is passed, the Senate (specifically Manchin and Sinema) basically has no reason to even take the spending bill to a vote. "The Squad" were holding up the infrastructure bill in the house to pressure Biden, Manchin and Sinema into negotiating and agreeing on a path forard for the spending bill.

Instead, Biden just took some votes from the Republicans (in exchange for God knows what *shudder*) to go over the Progressives' head.

The Ratchet Effect keeping us from moving left really is the most accurate metaphor for the way our politics work...

It's so weird to see things get passed and done and the economy continue to recover from the pandemic/a republican President (again) and be told over and over he didn't do anything/enough.

So let me get this stright: in just 9 months Joe Biden has ended the forever AFG war, recovered the economy with 5.6M well paid jobs, gotten 80% of a divided country Vaxed, & passed the largest Infrastructure bill with rare bipartisanship, but some ppl still ask what he's done?!

After four years of being promised something "in the next two weeks" we see government work to pass something and folks still complain.  I mean I get that people will always complain but he got it passed.  Then you go to the next thing.

Democrats win 30+ seats in GA....but they got "shellacked".

It's a funny way things get spun.
