Yes, they went there. A talking head on a morning program said Democrats were in the process of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory by failing to pass the half assed "bipartisan" infrastructure bill favored by the chattering class. Of course, the inevitable failure of the Build Back Better human infrastructure bill is taken as a given. Hardball politics explains all.
It is widely supposed that Democrats must do something or they will inevitably be portrayed as "do nothings". Meanwhile, progressives stand strong against passing the one bill without the other. As pressure mounts to save the so called Biden legacy, they need to stay together and cause political discomfort to Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema for holding out against the most far reaching social programs since the inception of Medicare. This nation must stand for something other than the interests of the 1%.
