None of the above. It was posted (re-tweeted?) yesterday by a rando twitter user. So I thought my e-friends on the Tunnels would enjoy. Check.
You are right! Lets go kneecap Joe Manchin then he will vote for the package in full. I am so glad i have seen the light!
Your strawman isn’t a rebuttal - whether or not we are actually powerless to “compromise” with Manchin doesn’t make the liberal “something better than nothing” argument any better or more sincere. Millions of voters aren’t ever going to realize what that “something” was that Biden accomplished, and aren’t going to knowingly benefit from it. Hell, it’s very likely that you yourself making the argument won’t benefit from whatever is accomplished, but you will sure as hell use whatever it is to score political argument points with unsatisfied leftists.
All I ask is that you just acknowledge that obstructionist Dems like Manchin discourage political participation from voters who see that the Democratic Party can’t even overcome its own members opposition, much less Republican opposition.

Yes of course it hurts participation.
Is that behavior dumb and self defeating? Absolutely, particularly from politically engaged people who should understand the political realities better.
…And the something is better than nothing argument as a logically sound argument when you compared to the other side who's gonna offer you nothing.
Other states where progressives aren't competitive?
It sucks that we didn't win more senate races. Maine and NC seemed like good chances. Maine wasn't even close though. Cunningham was very disappointing. Perhaps Jeff Jackson can do better
They are cutting it in half. Is still about the same size as the trump tax cuts over a 10 year periods so not insignificant.We’re letting Manchin and Sinema whittle Biden’s spending bill down to a toothpick and calling it all good because it’s still wooden.
Do you know how childish and petty you sound railing that somehow every democratic loss is due to incompetence utilizing poor strategy compared to some alternative obvious strategy that you claim is better that doesn't manifest itself in election wins?
Sucks that Joe Manchin is the 50th vote. However he is an actual D vote and not a hypothetical one.
