Dems should go back to the original $3T bill now that Manchin's played his 'no' card

[bigtree]

...put back all the things he negotiated out of the legislation.

It's clear this is where Manchin would end up for awhile now. The give away was that he kept on making demands, then Democrats would meet his demands, and then he would create new demands.

That's how you kill legislation.

Joe Manchin knew damn well he was never gonna support President Biden’s Build Back Better bill. He could have said that last spring and spared us all the months of unnecessary drama.

2. The translation doesn't make sense to me

“We would rather get nothing at all than half a loaf”

6. What's left in it that anyone cares about?

3. Might as well

4. Nah, they should double it to 6 trillion.

If it's not going to pass, put everything you really want in the bill. And debate it constantly.

5. West Virginia should be bombarded with signs listing all the infrastructure he's killing

The age and condition of every bridge, all the electric grid info, water pipes, schools, everything. Make them steep in the losses he's costing them.
