Ironically, it is liberals thwarting Biden's agenda

 Liz Peek:

President Joe Biden desperately needs a win. He has spent hours trying to jawbone Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., into supporting his $3.5 trillion "social infrastructure" bill. Why hasn’t he hauled progressive lawmakers into the Oval Office as well?

Why not sit down with Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., the head of the uber-liberal caucus that has stymied progress on his bipartisan infrastructure bill? Why no late-night calls to Bernie Sanders, the Vermont socialist who is clearly the shadow president and who has resisted calls to trim Biden’s monster spending package?

We know why: there’s no point. The progressive wing of his party is immune to persuasion; they are ideologues who, through a bizarre twist of fate, suddenly hold the reins of power in our nation’s capital.
...

Never has "My way or the highway" been so apt for the uber-liberals in Biden’s party.

Biden is reportedly set to "barnstorm" the country, ready to sell the public on his Build Back Better program, which is likely to cost over $5 trillion and which Democrats cannot figure out how to fund.

It won’t work, for four reasons. One is that Joe Biden’s approval ratings are sinking like a lead plumb; he does not have the power (or the energy) of a popular president. Second, polling shows voters no longer trust Joe Biden. That matters.

Third, the folks he must convince, the so-called "moderates," come from districts already skeptical about Biden’s massive spending ambitions. Voters think, rightly, that the $5 trillion already spent on COVID relief, to paraphrase Manchin, is enough.
...

The F*** Joe Biden chants are so pervasive across the country that a public appearance by Biden would likely result in the chants drowning out his message as it is.  Right now the greed of liberals is overwhelming the Democrats ability to govern.
