Why are Democrats taking positions to the right of Obama?

Because some Democrats, specifically like Joe manchin, are distinctly to the right of Obama.

It’s not just Manchin apparently. It’s six or seven other losers according to the article posted who simply want less tax revenue.

How stupid is this man? It’d be greatly popular in his state.

This makes absolutely no sense. I can’t name a single better item to tax than estates.

Biden really needs to get his blue staters in line on possibly the most basic left wing issue.

Is his family going to starve from high taxes or something?

What pisses me off about this is the seemingly indifferent attitude towards actually making investments the country desperately needs and, more importantly, paying for it in ways that we should be doing anyway. Unless they have a better, more viable way to pay for it that isn't politically toxic or totally unrealistic, they should stop complaining and stop bending over backwards to protect rich people and corporations, who have taken advantage of the system for way too long as it is.

Think about it from the perspective of Warner or any other swing senator. You can vote to raise your own taxes for no personal benefit or you can sell that vote to the highest bidder and become the richest man in the Senate.

Republicans have to at least pretend to represent their voters because if they're too soft they'll face a serious primary challenge, and even if they win there are enough Republicans willing to vote third party even in extremely close and decisive elections that they can't just do whatever they want. Whereas Democrats have an inexplicable fear of throwing out incumbents who go rogue and take bribes instead of actually holding their feet to the fire. If there's no risk to focusing entirely on personal advancement then of course politicians will take advantage.

A Senator especially from the so called working class party isn’t suppose to be that shellfish in a functioning society. It’s not like Warner isn’t already wealthy.

Reconciliation and death have something in common.

This is why Biden is the best president since LBJ.

He might not be signing any infrastructure bill at this rate, if Republicans back out of the deal and then Manchin/Sinema refuse to sign on to the reconciliation.

Manchin has at least already signaled support for the reconciliation.

At this moment, Pelosi in all likelyhood delays the vote. I'd be really surprised otherwise.

I’d agree with this unless the progressives cave in the next hour or so.

Just remember guys, Manchin is always secretly doing what the leadership wants, so this mess is clearly what the leadership has secretly been planning for all along. For some reason they wanted the administration to have no achievements for over half a year while the infrastructure bill gets broken down and public enthusiasm wanes. Despite the President's approvals tanking for the past month after Afghanistan, he apparently wants to put off and water down a big campaign promise unnecessarily rather than using it to get back on track.

Is this a parody of other posts or do you actually believe this?

Given his history it’s a parody.
