  1. My daughter works for Intel, and gets half a year paid maternity leave, then a year where she can mostly work from home. Manchin's correct, this can be done in a more permanent way, by cooperating with employers. Shoving every possible wish list item, into a transitory, inflationary bill, is not the way to go. Each item should be addressed separately, so the people know what they are getting. Not only is that more fair and lasting, but those items, that don't pass, can serve as platforms to run on, in the midterms. Why can't people listen to what he's saying? The elections Tuesday should have been a wakeup call. He understands the psyche of the American people better than any in the "progressive" wing. But, they'll just sneer and say he's bought, and never realized how deluded they are, until the Republicans regain control of Congress. Then it will be too late. Will my party learn then? I doubt it, they just claim their loss was due to racism, not their own stupid policies. Keep pissing the voting public off, by acting like you know better, and passing bills that drive inflation, then Trump will win in 2024. As the country loses its democracy, the "progressives" will never admit that they were the cause.

  2.  @muttinchops3708  It is inflationary. And inflation hurt the poor the most.

  3. I lot of people would like to see that, then Sanders would be incarcerated, and we wouldn't have to listen to his lies any more.

  4. You're clueless. He is doing what his constituents want. Saying otherwise doesn't change the truth. That is why a Democrat is always reelected in a very conservative state.

  5. No, he's committed to not further depleting the pockets of the poor, by driving more inflation.

  6.  @nitaponds5615  Get rid of the tax cuts, and restore SALT deductions. It's not fair to ask all taxpayers to pay for people that have a lot of kids. We already support the schools that educate them, that's enough. Maybe people shouldn't have kids, if they can't afford them.

  7.  @hellobeautiful6041  The fact his state keeps reelecting him proves he relates better than you do. And it is the far left wing, that is holding up the infrastructure bill.

  8.  @ismth  Seeing that socialism leads to totalitarian states, and realizing that it is bad, is not indoctrination, but intelligence. Sorry that you can't connect the dots.

  9. Really? He's not the one obstructing the infrastructure bill, that already passed the Senate. It is the far left, who are holding the country back.

  10. If he loses to another Democrat, in the primary, a Republican will win in the general. Why are you too blind to see that?

  11. No, that would be any member of the squad.

  12. A family of four? Have you never heard of birth control?

  13. Who is hurt most by inflation? The small guy. The reconciliation bill, as it is, will cause more inflation.

  14. Nope, when everyone is having a hard time buying food and gas, they'll come for those pushing more inflationary bills. That is the far left.
