'Progs' nightmare fulfilled'? Senate Dems are reportedly shelving Build Back Better for 2021, which is the last thing Joe Biden needs right now

When it comes to Build Back Better, we’ve got just two words for Nancy Pelosi: DEAD ON ARRIVAL.

Most Senate Democrats have no clue what the schedule is, when BBB or voting rights will come up or when recess begins. They say they are still trying to address both BBB and elections reform bills

Word on the street is that Dems have all but given up on this monstrosity:

Pivot to “voting rights,” guys!

Hearing from multiple sources on the Hill that BBB is definitely shelved for 2021. Looking for public confirmation from leadership. https://t.co/EwuefsOf3R

"BBB is shelved for 2021" IF TRUE means, unless we're really entering into a unique world where the normal laws of politics no longer apply (don't rule it out! especially not these days!), "BBB is dead forever." Biden's legislative agenda just ran out of gas & died on the tracks.

Which is appropriate considering what a train wreck Build Back Better has been from the beginning.

*If* BBB is dead, imagine being a House Democrat who walked the plank for Pelosi (all but 1 of them did) by voting yes on huge tax breaks for millionaires + tax increases for the middle class. You’d now be saddled with that vote with nothing to show for it. https://t.co/f32aVcU7zk

Also, if BBB is dead, it’s the progs’ nightmare fulfilled. They hold BIF hostage, then relent and pass it, then BBB bites the dust — would be the precise outcome they were trying to avoid. https://t.co/qQdIykjRYf

Just hook it to our veins.

Gloat away, Ed. You’ve earned the right.

In hindsight, this may be the weakest first year of any Presidency in our lifetime.

Dems in disarray

Womp-womp.

So much heartache could have been avoided by just assuming Joe Manchin wasn't kidding.

He told anyone willing to listen in no uncertain terms over and over again that this wasn't happening in the iteration the activists preferred. I don't know what you expected.

Forget it; they’re rolling.
