Absolutely everything Democrats are doing with the BBB bill -- the unfulfilled promises, blame-shifting, excuse-making, the general loser ethos -- is what they have been doing without pause at least since I began writing about politics 16 years ago. Not one thing has changed.

There is no political faction in any country I've covered as a journalist that more worships their political leaders than Dems in the US. They revere them like teens revere pop idols. And they are thus never blamed, can't fail, can only be failed, etc.

That it's all Joe Manchin's fault, that the Good and Compassionate Democrats would have done such great things for America's poor and working class if not for this sole Bad Senator, is the game they always play. Here's what I wrote in Salon in *2010(:

CNBC: Nancy Pelosi, worth $300 million in stocks, "says federal lawmakers should be able to trade stock in office: ‘This is a free market’"

That's who the Democrats *really* are, not the bullshit brand they sell every 2 years to gullible left-liberals.
