[VIDEO] Well most of the "right-wing" pundits are going on and on about how President Bran....Joe Biden's "Build Back Better" agenda has at least stalled through New Year's Day 2022. West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin has effectively stalled the President agenda by saying he will vote no on more social spending.
You have AOC and Bernie Sanders talking smack about this except that well Sen. Manchin unlike Sen. Sanders and Congresswoman AOC live in districts that are far different than the whole state of West Virginia. West Virginia is really a red state although yeah Sen. Manchin is in fact a Democrat and he's even daring his own party to push him into the independent category.
What a politically risky move? He risks his association with a party that has gone hard left and seems to expect no dissention. At the same time if he does vote with the progressive left liberals within the party he may well lose his US Senate seat.
It's funny that from the New York City area or from Vermont that Sanders and AOC believe that Manchin will harm his constituents in West Virginia. How do they know and in what way? I'm guessing Manchin is hearing much different right now.
However, thank goodness for Machine's moderate voice. It's needed right now as it seems there isn't a lot of in between in politics, especially in Washington. I see one side that's dead set on their way and could do more harm than good, perhaps there are more considerate and moderate Democrats in Congress!
