I hate to disagree, but disagree I do.

[lynherlan]

That’s the way it should be for ALL politicians. But that will never happen! Love Ro Kanna

No, progressives need to hold the line, and Biden needs to step up with executive orders.

Who can afford to have children to take advantage of Universal Pre-k?

SHARE SHARE SHARE THESE VIDEOS PEOPLE, GET THE TRUTH OUT THERE! HEY MAJOR!

[nexttytreporter]

What the hell are you talking about? We want a no vote on this bill!!

[steveray]

Agreeing with you that kids don't care what is being done or said in Washington but I also agree with Cenk as well for that very same reason as previous, kids don't care what is being said or done in Washington. But unfortunately they are the ones that picks up the pieces when this generation is gone

[MMORPGdude]

I respectfully disagree. If a provision isn't in this reconciliation bill now, it ain't gonna happen.

Give Manchin, Sinema, and the handful of other corporate stooges this win now and they know they will NEVER have to compromise on anything. Forget crumbs. *We will not get anything.*

The reconciliation bill is an empty shell at just 0.25T over Manchin's supposed number and he STILL hasn't committed to it. Not to mention Sinema is AWOL as usual. Now Jayapal is surrendering the little bit of leverage we had by allowing the corporate bill to pass without even an agreement on the reconciliation bill.

You got played, son. You're not even going to get the watered down reconciliation bill.

[lopirobinson]

Sinema isn’t going to be forced to deal with anything. In my experience bad people don’t always pay for their wrongs. It’s a funny world we live in.

[SuperCosmicChaos]

But we also got the bipartisan infrastructure bill which is a lose, so if you add a weak win with a lose, what do you get? Transformative legislation? no you get stagnation.

[xavierlopez]

Do not agree! We cannot be just giving crumbs and be happy about it. Now is the time to fight or repercussion will be given next year when midterms. People are fed up with politician like manchin and sinena but test assure we are watching progressives and expect them to do right and vote no!

[mdefazio]

Respectfully I disagree. I think that nothing should be approved with the completely stripped down bill. I don’t believe that should capitulate to two senators.

[despozblehero]

Democrats couldn't get it together and now we'll probably see trump 2.0.... Goodluck everyone!

[tawsifislam]

The bill is watered down so I’d vote no on both bills unless Biden does some executive order.

[ovidiuaka]

There's a long way to redemption for America, in the eyes of the world

[scee]

You’re a strong voice for reason and reasonability, Major. Keep up the good work.

[rellie_]

Nope! I disagree. Vote ‘NO’ on both and let the people know all that’s been gutted! A whole lot of people had no idea FMLA was one of the programs. Instead of expanding Medicare, they told the elderly take these hearing aids, mash your food to eat w/ your gums and continue using half of your social security to pay for prescriptions. And that’s just two of the most egregious parts that have been dropped. Sorry to tell you, but Dems had to convince a lot of young voters to vote, and once again this is why we don’t trust them. Idc how many polls are presented, but a message from the real American people, the Dems are out in 2022. And those are just facts. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[judymanning]

Thank you I think you have the right of it; once we get a taste of the good stuff (programs like social security for example) there is no going back 🍀

[theminiification]

Ehat they need to do is make sure that corporations already making millions dont get gifted these contracts.
Monitor the money themselves.

[jerrydellasala]

Thank you for airing the opposing view. That said, I agree with you. The bloodied BBB bill is much better than nothing. The alternative is a Trump led House & Senate.
