I suspect that Biden thinks he is still in the senate - he isn't. Its strange, I think he knows it but habits die hard. Eventually (hopefully) he will actually start behaving like the president and not the senator.
Between that and the unfortunate behavior of the Dems they either gotta start behaving that they are all in the same boat, start, at least, working on a message, and getting over their personal wishes.
If they don't do that they are going to get a really serious education next year. Its really a shame, they should have passed the infrastructure thing and went to work putting themselves together to actually win an election.
Instead ................
Biden is in the senate. Thru his proxy Joe Manchin.
The larded up infrastructure bill was always his real goal. Manchin is playing his role in this stagecrafted bait and switch.
‘He’s FDR!’ Remember that build back better propaganda being repeated everywhere in the press?
It was always about corporate giveaways and crushing any left alternatives.
It’s what right wing Dems have done for decades.
Mind you, I’m hoping for a complete wipeout in 2022. I’m down with them passing infrastructure only. It’s drawing clear, obvious distinctions than I haven’t seen in decades with people only marginally political. The sooner the party of progressive movement graveyards collapses the better.
