Manchin says no to new round of $2k cheques (update: not quite)

[KaiserDave]

We don’t even need Manchin on this vote
Not worried

[KaiserDave]

People are falling for Manchin’s bit again
Sad

[KaiserDave]

I'm looking forward to two years of people falling for this routine.

[KaiserDave]

I hope he switches parties at this point. I'm fed up with him. He is better than the alternatives in WV, but that makes our work in 2022 to get actual Democrats elected to rebuild the Senate majority even more important. We should consider him a no on just about every crucial piece of legislation for the next 2 years and work to bring Romney or Murkowski on board in his place.

R2D2 I know you're just mad, but you know that this is stupidity.

AHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA

[KaiserDave]

AHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA

The next two years will be very funny

[KaiserDave]

You all just fell for the Manchin

[KaiserDave]

Are people seriously pretending that giving $2k to literally everyone is better than targeting support to people who lost their jobs?

To my knowledge the full 2k checks don't go to everyone, so this a mute point.

[KaiserDave]

Can we change the title so people don't fall for this

Something like

"Manchin Obfuscates on 2k Checks"

Ok, I reacted out of anger and my post is stupid in retrospect. But I don't take these things lightly. It's frustrating to see how hard we worked to get Biden elected and get Warnock and Ossoff elected just to have Manchin playing politics here. I don't want to waste at least the next 2 years playing politics. I want to get sh*t done.

Don't worry Manchin is just pulling his schtick.

He's taking dead aim at the GOP majority.

I hope you're right.

Don't expect him to vote for Bernie/AOC type proposals. But if Schumer is trying to do something, Manchin will 99% go along with it.
