Remember when the progressives caved on their promise to not vote on the infrastructure bill unless and until the BBB passed the Senate? And now to no one's surprise--except I guess those gullible progressives who apparently never learned to distrust their own Party leaders after repeatedly being lied to--BBB has stalled because of Manikin. We the people were so proud of the House progressives for initially playing hardball by making that demand, showing they had real power and were willing to use it. Unfortunately once again they folded at the critical moment claiming they believed Biden's promise and once again they, and more importantly we the people, got the shaft.
So of course this doesn't inspire any confidence that Biden will get federal voting rights legislation done to prevent the fascist takeover of State voting systems. The progressives could once again use their veto power to block every new piece of legislation unless and until Biden applies the necessary pressure to get the Freedom to Vote Act passed but we can see that they will not. This is exactly why not only the Party but the progressives lose not only our trust but our votes. The result will likely be losing both the House and the Senate again in '22 and the White House in '24, when there will be a full fascist takeover of our federal government. All because progressives didn't have the fight necessary to prevent it.
