Democrats Are Throwing In the Towel on Rural America (jacobin.com)

Since 2016, Democrats have operationally withdrawn from rural America. No party can win nationally without rural voters, and progressive economics have plenty to offer, if only the party would embrace them.

If they don't, did Build Back Better just kill itself, one piece at a time, over the course of months?

I'm not sure how to dumb this down any more for you ...

Condescension: from people who like the status quo but can't defend it.

Just someone who understands what words mean.

Well, when manchin singlehandedly did what you wanted and killed Build Back Better for you, he was running the party.

You love it but can't admit it, so you get condescending instead. Enjoy watching the poor people you hate suffer.

You really seem to struggle with reading comprehension. You have pulled an entirely fabricated assumption of my stance out of your ass.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Manchin dictated policy. He was the de facto head of the party.

[–] ExtantHuman@lemm.ee -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You are not smart enough to continue having this conversation. Good bye

You got everything you wanted from the manchin presidency.
