That said, I urge the progressives in Congress to vote for the pending bill and THEN let Manchin and Sinema take full responsibility for the fate of Build Back Better.
Why would you want Manchin and Sinema to “take full responsible for the fate of BBB” if you think it’s a good deal for Dems? This is really an odd desire on Jim’s part. Seems like he’d want them to “take responsibility” as punishment when it turns out to be a dud.
On the one hand he hates Manchin and Sinema, and on the other he wants BBB to be a springboard to get Dems elected in 2022. Does anyone on the island have the knowledge to figure out his quandary and point it out to him?
Also, despite his desires, the responsibility will fall on all the Dems completely since they’re the ones passing the junk. If anything, Manchin and Sinema can say they stopped the BBB from being any worse. It’s almost as if he admitting defeat.
