Disagree. Robert is correct. Biden had both the Senate and House for the first two years to pass criminal justice reform (a big promise he made to the Black community -- and he is now paying price for not delivering), and he had time to pass a fix to Dobbs. They managed the "Manchin-Sinema" issue on lots of other "tough" issues (including passing Respect for Marriage Act) but decided they wanted a political issue to drive people to the polls on abortion and didn't want to fix Dobbs. As a result, you lose your window, and it turns off voters - you lose their trust that you're serious about getting things done.
Actually, he gave Manchin his pipeline and his wife a cushy government position. Never pressured either of them on their positions and managed to scale down Bernie’s proposal by half. The one he adopted to get elected. Then he went missing on voting rights, opened drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, supported the filibuster…on and on.
No you are right. I hear you, sir I really do As a fellow American, I love you. I just want us all to be OK. If we the people who really care about those people in Gaza have no power Which is what will happen if Trump wins, then what. But I respect you, sir if you can’t vote for Biden, I respect you and I understand why
I just believe the real powers that we have to fight are AIPAC And other PACS that Control our politicians.
Ooh, I'd love to live in that made-up world of yours where Manchin and Sinema magically didn't exist. We'd all be a lot happier for sure.

You miss the part about not all Democrats agreeing on everything. Biden couldn't get passed the things he didn't get passed in that short time frame.
come on, he didnt even try
That's not untrue. He didn't try very hard at least. We don't know what he did behind the scenes.
Yeah, but it would also have been nice if Biden would've put any pressure on them. He didn't even try...
