      I’m excited to see people screaming “Presidents don’t have the power to do that, idiot!” when some far left Trump loving Tankie brings up this promise in another six months.

        I don’t understand what you mean. I’m saying prove it as in do what you’re promising.

          She won’t. And when it comes time to talk about her failure, you’ll be castigated for bringing it up.

    How many times does the boy have to cry wolf before people realize there is no wolf? This is more of that ‘on day one’ bullshit we heard from Obama, dangling carrots in front of voters to lure them to the poles only for them to backtrack the day after being sworn in.

      At least there’s a carrot now, before we were just getting the stick of “vote for me or the fascists will take over”

      There actually was a wolf in that analogy. Just cause the villagers decided to ignore the warnings didn’t make him not exist.

      Be specific. What exactly?

      Because Obama also got a lot done he promised

      In contrast, Trump clearly makes up things on the spot to impress whoever is in the room at the time

    Well is she gonna overturn President Joe Mansion’s veto?

    Does she feel like appointing an AG who will go after him and his family’s various conflicts of interests?

        My point is “is she going to take the necessary action to whip the vote”, Manchin isn’t the only dem senator who’d rather the democrats didn’t accomplish anything as it could hurt their donors.

        And whoever takes his place will be a Republican.

        His seat, or his function? Because his seat will be occupied by a Republican. We’ll have to see who will come to occupy his function of convenient turncoat obstructionist. Because that person will be a Democrat.

        You’re not wrong, but refrain from attacking other users.

        Manchins R replacement is up something like 70-30 in current polling BTW, definitely going R.

      Really? “Joe Mansion”? That’s Trump-level wordplay. Surely you can do better?

        They’re referring to the Senator from West Virginia, who’s literally named Joe Mansion. He’s a living political cartoon of a corrupt politician. He’s also not seeking reelection, so Kamala wouldn’t need to negotiate with him at all to begin with.

    And just like that, centrists have to pretend that they never liked the filibuster.
