      the bully pulpit is the magic green lantern ring to Bragman and his confused cohort. nothing works like that. Manchin doesn't care if Biden denounces him. in fact, he probably mostly thinks it helps him with his voters.https://twitter.com/WalkerBragman/status/1364070323226873858 …

      While Biden has smaller majorities in the House/Senate, Dems could go nuclear on the filibuster if they had the discipline and will. Biden could use the bully pulpit to apply pressure on rogue lawmakers. But that kind of leadership is so conspicuously absent from the party.

      I don't know. I think there's plenty of ways to make Manchin's life hell if you're so inclined. Hell, the fact that he's basically Democrat Satan ought to be a talking point for the whole party.

      there isn't though. he likes to be seen as independent, so Dem leadership yelling at him is pretty much what he wants. and if eh really gets pissed he can switch parties, and then Ds have even less ability to pass their agenda.

      it's frustrating, but there really isn't much they can do. if we'd won NC and ME, things would be a lot different. but we didn't and they aren't.

      I think, given the urgency of the situation, there's plenty of options available, they're just not the kind Biden personally finds palatable.

      If we're gonna get into edgelord fedposting let me just point out any potential "extreme measures", if you were going to deploy them, would be kind of a huge waste to just flip Joe Manchin's vote (considering the enormous downside risk)

      Replying to @arthur_affect @nberlat

      I mean half a million people are already dead and both the House and the Senate are going blood red in two years (and then they'll eliminate the filibuster anyway), so I dunno what kind of national emergency we'd be waiting for

      Okay, well, in a total breakdown of constitutional order I have no confidence the vast majority of the country wouldn't become massively more conservative than they already are right now

          I mean, bluntly, anyone who identifies on the far left needs to get used to the idea that it's just brute fact that you're massively outnumbered in this country and most regular people don't like you and don't agree with your values

          And the impulse - which I agree is very tempting - to sweep aside all the rules and go "Let's get REAL democracy, STREET democracy, let's see what the real will of the people is!" - would go very badly for most marginalized people
