      Yeah, he said 50 votes was. And with Mancin and Sinema voting elsewhere, that means they have how many votes?

      Let’s work together!

      If you have 50 apples, and 2 of them end up being full of worms and rotten, how many apples do you have to eat?

      That’s right! 48 apples!

      Good job!

        So …

        During the GA runoffs when Biden told us 50 senators with a D by their name was enough to pass party platform:

        That was a ______

        Because Manchin was already in office, everyone knew what he was and what he would do. Except the Dem party leaders.

        Just not sure why you won’t answer if they were lying or ignorant of what the Senators in their party was like.

        Keep in mind, Biden got the nomination because he said he was a “senate whisperer” and never expected to actually get 50/50 till he won the election.

        Either Biden didn’t know what he was talking about. Or he lied.

        You seem to be saying Biden was ignorant of who Manchin is

          Acting like a campaigning politician in a tight race could say “I don’t know if I’ll be able to actually get these things done, sorry guys. Please vote for me anyway though because I’m being realistic instead of optimistic” and still win.

          He thought he could put enough pressure on Manchin. He was wrong, but it’s still better that Democrats won the runoff and that he tried to get 50 senators in line like he said he would. He failed. He didn’t lie. No one knew what was going to happen. It’s politics.

          If you think every politician on the campaign trail is given you the most realistic version of what they will accomplish, I have a bridge to sell you buddy.

      This is just a terrible take. Is your point that Joe Biden is a secret Republican and doesn’t support the policies he pushes for? Or that Kamala will somehow be more moderate than Biden?

      If so, fucking lol dude.
