The problem is he's been lying about the bill for MONTHS and no one said anything. The one time he was semi checked, ie when Harris went to West Virginia, he threw a fit. Then Bernie started doing it and he got upset. That should have showed them where the weakness is. He's talking out his ass as if he doesn't represent a state of poor white trash who have gobbled up every "entitlement" program sent their way since the days of LBJ. We're talking straight up Appalachian shyt. Poor white people with nothing, who celebrate when a new post office gets built in town. We're supposed to be those are the people Manchin can't go home to and say "sorry I can't give you a child tax, child care, improved healthcare benefits, etc"?
He's working for the corporations who want this bill killed. And who, lets be frank, want Biden to fail out the White House. That's who he is aligned with. Pretending otherwise has been a mistake. I understand Biden can't come out and say "hey the nikka is bought and paid for" but this is exactly why we needed a president who is capable of talking effectively and actually doing shyt in person. You needed a president who could camp out in West Virginia, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and all these other rural white places and stump for this bill. Because white people clearly benefit from this stuff more than anyone. We've got black people too fukking proud and stupid to get married, watching consequential money being handed out via the child tax and we can't capitalize. Instead it's going to single mothers who do...whatever single mothers do with government money.
