That's ridiculous, Bernie. Stop it! Democrats are not "catering to" Republicans. NurseJackie Apr 2021 #1
Exactly. JohnSJ Apr 2021 #6
We're catering to Joe Manchin. lagomorph777 Apr 2021 #8
Nobody is catering to Joe Manchin. Joe Manchin is not a Republican, he's a Democrat. NurseJackie Apr 2021 #9
With friends like Manchin, who needs enemas? lagomorph777 Apr 2021 #10
Anal-sex jokes/insinuations/lies about a Democrat... how charming. NurseJackie Apr 2021 #11
Thanks! lagomorph777 Apr 2021 #13
All of it. NurseJackie Apr 2021 #15
Embrace Manchin? Gary 50 Apr 2021 #24

Took the words right out of my mouth. notinkansas Apr 2021 #33
Why are you bringing up the 2016 primary FIVE years later? And that's a mighty offensive attack. George II Apr 2021 #40
That he is. Jay25 Apr 2021 #43
Thank you...... HUAJIAO Apr 2021 #47
Are you suggesting that Bernie is not sufficiently embraced by the Democrats? Beastly Boy Apr 2021 #53

In the 116th Congress, only one Democratic Senator voted with trump more than Sanders.... George II Apr 2021 #66

Enemas are anal sex? I thought it was a medical procedure. Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2021 #28
People wind up revealing so much... tonedevil Apr 2021 #64
Enemas are not anal sex. Autumn Apr 2021 #88
Nobody said it was. NurseJackie Apr 2021 #89
Ah yeah, you did. Autumn Apr 2021 #90
No, I never said anything about enemas being "anal sex"... NurseJackie Apr 2021 #91
Your words are there, you were the one who made the accusation. Okay-Bye! Autumn Apr 2021 #92
And you're the one who tried to correct me on something I never said. NurseJackie Apr 2021 #93
I didn't correct you, I just pointed out that words have other meanings than what you went with. Autumn Apr 2021 #94
But those meanings had nothing to do with the context and insinuation that was being made. NurseJackie Apr 2021 #95
You don't know what another poster is thinking Jackie, unless you are sharing a mind. Autumn Apr 2021 #96
Keep digging! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤪 NurseJackie Apr 2021 #97
So you really didn't mean your "Okay-Bye! Have a nice day!" Autumn Apr 2021 #98
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤪 NurseJackie Apr 2021 #101
Actually crushed/crush/crushing means quite a few things: George II Apr 2021 #103
Yet here you are... sheshe2 Apr 2021 #104
You do know that star trek was pretend? Autumn Apr 2021 #105

Joe Manchin is a Democrat. Bernie Sanders is not a Democrat. That is factual...and exactly Demsrule86 Apr 2021 #14
Sanders votes with Dems. Manchin, not so much. lagomorph777 Apr 2021 #16
Since you bashed him, in 2020 Joe Manchin voted with the Democrats more than Sanders did...... George II Apr 2021 #42
What? "...in 2020 Joe Manchin voted with the Democrats more than Sanders did..." Really? NurseJackie Apr 2021 #50
It's all in the Roll Call vote site here: George II Apr 2021 #51
Thanks for letting us know! NurseJackie Apr 2021 #52
Yes, people like to toss out that accusation but in fact it's totally false. George II Apr 2021 #56
Wrong. Beastly Boy Apr 2021 #55
Except Bernie Sanders acts like a Democrat and Joe Manchin doesn't jcgoldie Apr 2021 #17
Exactly! lagomorph777 Apr 2021 #18
++++++++++++++++++++ not fooled Apr 2021 #23
Lol. Right? Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2021 #32
When has Manchin voted against President Biden's agenda? George II Apr 2021 #44
He is opposing the voting rights bill and the infrastructure bill. lagomorph777 Apr 2021 #45
In other words, he hasn't. George II Apr 2021 #46
In other words, semantic tricks can't hide the truth. He is blocking the agenda. lagomorph777 Apr 2021 #48
For which votes did he vote against Democrats. George II Apr 2021 #49
That is just the opposite of what the facts suggest Beastly Boy Apr 2021 #57
That pretty much confirms what I said earlier here, Manchin votes with Democrats MUCH more.... George II Apr 2021 #67
I wonder what that will look like in a full year of a Biden Presidency SunImp Apr 2021 #69
Probably the same as it does now AZSkiffyGeek Apr 2021 #106
wow we put a non-Democrat in as chair of the senate budget committee? Voltaire2 Apr 2021 #60
A consolation prize? And the "chair of the senate budget committee" doesn't have as much... NurseJackie Apr 2021 #84
Without Bernie would we be in a Majority right now? SunImp Apr 2021 #70
The same can be said about Angus King, 48 other senators, and Kamala too. Beastly Boy Apr 2021 #72
This thread isn't about Vice Pres Kamala and the other senators SunImp Apr 2021 #79
Actually, "we all" bring up Manchin and Sinema not to give them credit for the majority but to state Beastly Boy Apr 2021 #82
Bernie Sanders will reliably vote for Democratic legislation, Crunchy Frog Apr 2021 #73
He hadn't in the past. Beastly Boy Apr 2021 #74
What, support Biden's legislative agenda? Crunchy Frog Apr 2021 #80
You did open the link I provided, didn't you? Beastly Boy Apr 2021 #83
Manchin's a Democrat. Bernie isn't...nt SidDithers Apr 2021 #65
Gosh what an original post. Crunchy Frog Apr 2021 #81
Sorry - I should clarify... SidDithers Apr 2021 #110
Sanders said " catering to Republicans".. If he didn't Cha Apr 2021 #78
I take him at his word. He meant what he said. NurseJackie Apr 2021 #85
And, I'd like to know where he Cha Apr 2021 #87
What??? Maybe not catering but giving them too many chances when we know what the outcome Escurumbele Apr 2021 #19
Stop it? notinkansas Apr 2021 #31
I guess I just have higher standards. He can do better... and he should. NurseJackie Apr 2021 #36
Obama would never have gotten aca through, Maxheader Apr 2021 #2
Democrats ARE moving forward on this. Did he not see Biden's announcement on infrastructure? George II Apr 2021 #3
Musta missed it! Yeah, President Biden is Moving Forward.. he Cha Apr 2021 #71
Biden doesn't cater. He is going forward. Beastly Boy Apr 2021 #4
What is his concrete suggestion then for getting conservadems on board? This is a water Demsrule86 Apr 2021 #5
Your observations are astute. It's a shitty thing to accuse Democrats of... NurseJackie Apr 2021 #7
Sanders is an Independent by choice...very divisive rhetoric Demsrule86 Apr 2021 #12
There is nothing divisive about his comments, we all want to see results and I understand Biden Escurumbele Apr 2021 #20
Wrong, the comments are divisive. Biden giving the GOP a chance has nothing to do with Demsrule86 Apr 2021 #26
Yeah... sheshe2 Apr 2021 #62
Here's my concrete suggestion: Fiendish Thingy Apr 2021 #35
A concrete suggestion better thought out, and more constructive, than anything Manchin or Sinema muriel_volestrangler Apr 2021 #41
I am so sick of showboating speak easy Apr 2021 #21
Exactly. Don't give the pukes the attention. Fuck them and move on to get things done. Autumn Apr 2021 #22
We've got the second worst problem to the Republicans Silent3 Apr 2021 #37
Never forget Sinema as well. she is potentially worse. She wants a 60 vote threshold on ALL Senate Celerity Apr 2021 #76
Completely agree ... aggiesal Apr 2021 #25
Tell me where the 50 votes are coming from for the legislation in question. Manchin and Sinema Demsrule86 Apr 2021 #27
We got a 'watered' down bill because we needed 60 votes and didn't have them...thus it Demsrule86 Apr 2021 #34
I'm not against the ACA ... aggiesal Apr 2021 #38
And let's not also forget that several Dems who opposed abortion used that Texin Apr 2021 #39
We are looking at losing the House and Senate if republican voter suppression laws aren't Jay25 Apr 2021 #59
He should know that Biden's attention to Repubs is to get a few to vote with Dems. ancianita Apr 2021 #30
"5 or 6 years???" BobTheSubgenius Apr 2021 #54
It doesn't matter what you give or don't give them. aocommunalpunch Apr 2021 #58

I would agree while heartedly w Bernie FlyingPiggy Apr 2021 #75
Has Sanders said if he is willing to vote to abolish the filibuster yet? W_HAMILTON Apr 2021 #77
07/30/20 - Sanders calls for the end of the filibuster following Obama's remarks Celerity Apr 2021 #99
I didn't get that from the article. W_HAMILTON Apr 2021 #100
Sanders is not one of those we need to worry about on the subject, that would be Manchin, Sinema, Celerity Apr 2021 #102
He is, because he's had a history of hiding behind such issues. W_HAMILTON Apr 2021 #108
There is basically zero chance Sanders is going to block legislation he desperately wants passed by Celerity Apr 2021 #109
What is he talking about? betsuni Apr 2021 #86
hopefully Biden learned from watching Obama waste his time trying to work with them Skittles Apr 2021 #111
