Not that I really want to get into an argument over this since the criticism may be valid, but on the surface it looks like context could make this far less of a concern (or none at all). For example, the top two comments above are 2 years apart, she wasn't VP then, and the second one specifies Bernie's plan so it could have been some element of that specifically and not MFA she objected to. Would you like to look into that and for similar in the second two stories and let me know what you find?

Well, she ran as the VP candidate (and obviously won) under Biden, who objects to Medicare for All and she hasn't mentioned since winning the election. Medicare for All (and healthcare in general) is a hot topic right now, so her silence on it is pretty glaring.

As for the second one, if I understand correctly; Harris has the authority to overturn the Senate parliamentarian's block on the minimum wage stipulation and has decided not to. If she felt so strongly about minimum wage (and 15/hr might be progress, but it's still an insult), she wouldn't be so concerned with "respecting the process" or whatever. "Go hard or go home", and she's going home.

On the minimum wage I'm pretty sure Manchin and Sinema said they wouldn't vote for anything that was overruling the Parlementarian and they are against $15 in general. So I think that is more on them than Harris

I don't know how the process works beyond what I've been reading today, to be honest. I've never heard of the fucking Senate Parliamentarian until today.

Why wouldn't she? I imagine she and Biden must be extra conscious of giving the appearance of doing everything by the book. All that having been said, this sounds quite reasonable but I think it takes time to build political will and it's too dangerous to act without it so early in the first term, IMHO.

You just made me realize I haven’t watch ATH in like 5 years.

I get all my sports info from Twitter and Reddit these days

I purchased YouTube TV this year and have caught a couple episodes here and there. I watched religiously when I was a kid.

Also, on the topic of sports, you guys know I'm not a fan of Lebron James, but that shit with that goofy looking Swedish soccer player really aggravates me. Really, anyone making the "lol, you care?" argument to glorify their own laziness.

How do you feel Sinema and Manchin should be handled? They're both clearly egotists.
