He wasn’t lying, he knew he wasn’t gonna get much shit through Congress when he had a 50/50 split with two of those on his side being Sinema and Manchin and the other side having folks who possibly schemed in having his entire administration cancelled before it ever began

Manchin and Sinema played their assigned roles as rotating villains. And if a rotating villain can’t be summoned, there’s always the Senate parliamentarian. And if not that, then there’s always splitting the bill, as was done for the impending rail strike last year.

The Democrats punk us over & over. football-lucy Both parties work for the capitalist class and against the working class.

You think they get together and decide who pretends to have beliefs that happen to fuck the whole party? This sounds like absolute bullshit from a BoTh SiDeS-er.

There doesn't have to be a conspiracy for this behavior to occur organically. Both parties represent different factions of the bourgeoisie, and different factions want different things but are united in interests common to being bourgeoisie.
