It’s sort of excruciating watching progressive Congresspeople tweet out their frustration with obviously the same sense of powerlessness that the rest of us feel.

Pt2 but to not even fight, to not even try, it’s pathetic! Utterly pathetic; you saw this habit with Obama; that’s bullshit it is ridiculous it’s absurd. Ultimately it is the Biden administration who were never serious about fighting for this;

Never forget NOT ONE "progressive" showed up for #ForceTheVote, not one. I am told when you use caps you are screaming; THEY ARE ALL GASLIGHTING, ALL THE TIME!

I am done with "progressives" in Congress after voting for the Cares Act.

BJG observes that Biden does not appear to have “conviction” about the $15 minimum wage, & wants to know why. Ro Khanna covers for him saying Biden is “struggling”; that he DOES believe in it but he is struggling; sorry but however sincere Ro appears it is absolute gaslighting

@VirgilTexas asked Ro if the parliamentarian should be fired (implying as has been done in the past to achieve a desired outcome)& Ro said "no, she is a good person just trying to do her job."SERIOUSLY?!The solution lies w/the White House sez he; MORE deflecting responsibility

Pt1 Saager Enjeti: what it proves is the Democrats by and large were not committed to raising the minimum wage; if they wanted to do it they could do it. KB: There’s nothing we can do; Kamala Harris could overrule her; there are many options on the table;

Pt3 when Bernie endorsed Biden, yes I am going to fight for it. Jen Psaki still pretending like they are really committed to it and they are really fighting hard to get it done. If you “support” it but do not fight for it your “support” is utterly meaningless! It is a joke,

Pt1 Krystal Ball said "Biden does not have the political will" the key word being WILL. She added it does not mean anything if you do not and are not willing to fight for policies that you profess to support
