Sanders wants to force Manchin to vote no on BBB: 'Let him vote no in front of the whole world'

Manchin’s position is a validation of progressive fears — they believed passing that infrastructure bill was a mistake without an explicit guarantee from all 50 Democratic senators to support the rest of Biden’s agenda. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Sunday he “absolutely” wants to see a vote on the legislation.

1.75 trillion dollars . People are struggling and we want to print 1.75 trillion dollars . The pharmacy can lower the medication on their own without printing 1.76 trillions dollars .

As a single working man, I benefit from absolutely nothing of this and it’ll just spike inflation. I am glad he shot this down. Somebody had to

[ajetmech]

Old Burn Through Your Money Bernie. This guy is a career politician that's never worked a real day in his life. Putz.

Bernie should explain how granting amnesty to 3 million illegals with full access to the trillions in tax funded social spending is going to help Americans in a hyper-inflationary market?

[walidmeliane]

This guy should just ask for permanent residency in Venezuela or Cuba.

As a person who lives in west virginia I feel Manchin made the right call to say no why would I want to a bill that is a short term fix with long term Repercussions throwing money at the problem never fixes it just cause more Inflation which will counter act the bill higher taxes less money to spend on Essentials need. which the bill lower. like it just doesn't make sense.

[bigshott]

No explaining Bernie.
Why can't these things be done on smaller bills, because then you won't be able to hide crap in them?

[ralpheisenbath]

Go back to Vermont Bernie. Your LEGISLATION IS NOT SUSTAINABLE. !!!!

[sherryallen]

He already has told the world that he would vote NO! Take all the wasteful spending out of the bill and maybe he would vote yes!

[lopez]

[haroldmichaud]

When some republicans cross over and voted with the Democratic, the Democratic called then courageous, bold, independent thinkers - and Sanders was one of them .

[andrewhadden]

Good to hear from a guy who couldn't hold a job until he was 40. Inflation screws EVERYBODY on EVERYTHING. A couple of bucks here and there is nothing compared to what we are paying in the decreased value of our income. Courage. Joe manchin takes on his own party. You dont think that takes courage.

IMAGINE HOW STRONG OUR COUNTRY WOULD BE IF CONGRESS SPENT THEIR DAYS WORKING FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ELECTED THEM INSTEAD OF THE PEOPLE WHO BUY THEM.

[joe.oneill]

If Bernie is willing to pay for the poll as he said, , why didn't he just do it?

[denniscarver]

Kinda says it all doesn't it " Let CNN do a poll" personal mouth piece for Dem. party.

FBS! Imagine all the explaining we’d have to do to our children on why we bankrupted them before they were even born.
