Lawrence: Manchin's ‘No’ Doesn't Mean That Biden's Agenda Is Dead

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is pledging the Senate will 'consider the Build Back Better Act very early in the new year' after Sen. Joe Manchin quashed the current negotiations on the bill. MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell explains why Manchin's move does not mean the legislation is dead.

Conclusion:
- Spending $20 trillion killing brown people doesn't have as big of a return as spending it on societal health, infrastructure, and education for future generations

One man isn't holding up this bill. At least 51 senators are going to vote against it. That's a majority, and that's how democracy works, and if you don't like it kick rocks.

Stop complaining. Bring the pieces of the legislation up one at a time. Make the Republicans vote no to things like the Medicare enhancement, Prescription Drugs, family leave etc. that takes away their leverage over scare items and total cost. Enough time has been wasted trying to do it massively. Let's get as much as possible.

Wish we could see how many thumbs down there are!!! Way to hide the truth YouTube

I don’t even have any kids, don’t plan on ever having any, yet I support the Child Credit, and I’m not someone that owns a yacht nor a Maserati🤦🏻‍♂️

That comparison between Manchin and McCain was not the same. McCain did not hold hostage and demand and shape that legislation as he wanted before deciding whether to vote for it

[lindastone]

Hey, MSNBC. HELLO? Are you there? MOST AMERICANS DON'T WANT THIS BILL!

[pkghalm]

Watching the Marxists cry is quite entertaining 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[EQv]

Mmm... pretty sure it's still a no, Chief.

[carlkil]

So this time, “no” doesn’t mean “no”…….gotcha, just trying to keep it all straight.

[brookestephen]

Why not use the holidays to investigate Manchin & Sinema for corruption and bribery? Makes sense to me. That is what I asked for from Santa.

[juantorres]

So basically this guy think no means “yes” lol lmao 🤣

[rhysholdaway]

It is not the fact that one man decides the fate of the nation. It is that corporations and special interest groups decide the vote of one man.

[robertodavila]

Child tax credit is very small portion in which the rest of the money is divided among the unknowns In this bill. The people are not stupid.

[LG-kylo]

Joe Manchin doesn’t want to get harassed so he’s just saying will do it next month. This guy ain’t signing any of that crappy bill

[deborahmalaise]

To say that I loathe Joe Manchin is an understatement!!

[uncommonanom]

He’s not voting on it period! Just end it you’re not getting the bill passed
