MANCHIN

IS

DOING

BIDEN

AND

PELOSI'S

BIDDING.

How do people still not see this?????????
I mean, really, the truth is staring us in the face:

Does anyone actually believe all this is because of Manchin, Sinema, and the Parliamentarian?

Joe Biden IS the status quo.

Joe Biden IS the establishment.

Joe Biden does NOT want fundamental change to the system he helped build.

Perfect example: Biden and Obama built the child cages Trump/Miller used, and the kids are STILL in cages.

Manchin is just the fall guy.
Have Biden, Harris, Schumer or Pelosi put any MEANINGFUL pressure on Manchin?? Of course not.

Manchin, a coal baron, is the CHAIRMAN of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.

If you're blaming only Manchin and Sinema, Biden and Pelosi thank you for being their dupes.
Allow me to explain.

This, my friends, is Biden/Pelosi's actual agenda:

NO MINIMUM WAGE HIKE

NO STUDENT DEBT RELIEF

NO KILLING THE FILIBUSTER

NO MEDICARE FOR ALL

NO SCOTUS EXPANSION

NO ABOLISHING ICE

NO SHUTTING CHILD CAGES

NO END TO DRONING KIDS

NO REAL CLIMATE ACTION
If you truly buy into the rotating villain charade, read this:

"The idea that Manchin is to blame for killing the billionaires' tax is too convenient. Pelosi privately slammed the proposal hard at a meeting this week, aides tell me."

Irregardless.
I could care less.
Disorientated.
Speciality.
Ekcetera.
Begs the question (used incorrectly).

Any others?
Another:

"If I would have" instead of "If I had..."
And to be fair, "disorientated" and "speciality" are British uses, but I still don't love the superfluous syllables.

Well, there it is.

@AOC praises Biden as a "good faith partner" and says, "I am fighting for HIS agenda with the #BuildBackBetter act."

This is effectively an endorsement of the corporate Dem establishment.

Here is Biden's full agenda:

◼️Kids in cages
◼️Migrants whipped
◼️Racist policing
◼️Huge military budget
◼️More oil drilling
◼️No minimum wage hike
◼️No filibuster reform
◼️No court expansion
◼️No medicare for all
◼️No green new deal
◼️No abolishing ICE
◼️No student debt help
(FYI, I updated this thread to include the full AOC quote.)

Biden and Pelosi represent everything wrong with the Democratic Party. They've spent decades lulling people with bullshit incrementalism while giving cover to the GOP to move far right.

Why embrace and endorse them???

NO MORAL COMPASS

"President Biden has deployed some of the most aggressive approaches to immigration put in place by former President Donald J. Trump."

nytimes.com/2021/09/22/us/…
HEINOUS:

"The Biden administration has kept in place a Trump-era policy that allows them to expel some immigrants and asylum-seekers at the border without the opportunity to request protection."

Another day under Dem Party rule.

◼️Black asylum-seekers being whipped.

◼️Migrant children locked in cages.

◼️2,000+ people dying of COVID daily.

◼️Oil drilling rampant as the earth burns.

◼️US still droning babies to death.

◼️Billionaires getting richer by the minute.
Meanwhile...

◼️No minimum wage hike

◼️No filibuster reform

◼️No court expansion

◼️No medicare for all

◼️No green new deal

◼️No student debt help

◼️No consequences for Trump's thugs
And who's to blame?

Is it Biden's fault? Schumer's fault? Pelosi's fault?

NO, NO, NO!!!!

The President and Speaker and Majority Leader are powerless.

Let's blame the Senate Parliamentarian! And Joe Manchin! And Kyrsten Sinema! And Donald Trump!

Yes, THEY have the power.

✔️NO closing child cages
✔️NO end to oil drilling

BAIT & SWITCH

Biden/Pelosi have advanced the GOP agenda more effectively than Trump or McConnell.

◼️ Protesters brutalized
◼️ Miller's border policy embraced
◼️ Military budget growing
◼️ ICE budget growing

And Biden defends the filibuster, which hinders voting rights reform. Image
"Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." - George W. Bush

I spent years inside the Democratic establishment and I finally accepted the brutal truth: When Biden and Pelosi call for a stronger Republican Party, they mean it. Image
