    Sorry but to quote what you always say...time to put them on the record. Manchin is out in front spitting on half the stuff the Dems want, well then he has to take the wrath that comes. This is no different than when AOC holds the moderate wing's feet to the fire on issues. (like she has been about student debt forgiveness since Biden said he is against it) You have to fight, and you have to do it publicly if they are openly defiant. That is how the rubes know you mean business.

    I would agree with you if Manchin wasnt so out front and vocal about his oppositions. But if he is going to go on the cable news shows and bloviate then we need to fight fire with fire.

        I did not like how AOC equated providing apartments to UNACCOMPANIED MINOR IMMIGRANTS, to taking babies away from their parents and locking them in cages. It’s not the same, and making that claim is not worth a clickbait tweet for cheap points.

          I can see your point too.

          I'm not sure what the best way to handle it is, honestly.

            Just an observation...it’s interesting Collins is attacked so relentlessly by the Dems but Republicans hardly ever attack Manchin(unless I’m missing something). For me one strategy is likely to be a lot more successful than the other.

                Biden isn’t against student debt forgiveness. He’s just against cancelling $50,000 worth of it. He said he’s on board with $10,000, but wants to see if Congress can pass it first. Since we all know they won’t, unless that somehow can be included in a budget reconciliation bill, it may be the end of the year before we see him potentially take any action. Maybe even longer. It definitely doesn’t seem like as high of a priority to Biden as other issues.

                  I had one of the Trump Socialist Morons on Facebook say that he'd rather they cancel medical debt than student debt. Seemed to indicate that student debt is ****ing voluntary. To an extent, yes. But, then again, in some cases medical debt is voluntary. Every can do a better job to be healthy and our food supply has some ****ing really intense issues around that. The Sugar Lobby for example.

                  I'm all for cancelling both of them to be honest. We need to enable people to be able to work, get jobs, and spend money for the economy and the anchors of student debt and medical debt are ****ing us in the ***.

                        I’m shocked a Trump supporter advocated cancelling any kind of debt, seeing as that balloons the deficit or something, something...
                        I agree with your last paragraph, including on using two l’s in the word* cancelling.

                            Not saying this in a mean way but I don’t think you understand Trump supporters very well. They definitely want to have their cake and eat it too.

                                Yeah, I think he was trying to get an argument started by complaining about what Biden is doing by offering what he considers a better alternative that his party won't support anyway.

                                It's the old bait, switch, and then kill that Turtle Boy uses all the time.
