so here's the timeline of the bill.

It didn't even matter that Lieberman was independent. he's literally not mentioned.

and it looks like we're both wrong, apparently there was one republican who voted for it.

lol, what is your point? her position is now my 2.2 or nothing. and she was super happy with nothing.

her level of relief is apparently 0. but she can walk away morally and the republicans can't right?

jeez. imagine being called amoral for asking for less lol



Lieberman was a huge reason for the bill being as conservative as it was - for example: https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/newsletter-art... .

My point is, why is it that if Pelosi doesn't bend the knee, she bears sole responsibility for an agreement being reached? If she and the white house can agree, why can't McConnell be blamed? Your position seems to be that she should just take what she can get, but why shouldn't McConnell take what he can get? This is a negotiation. The idea that either side bears sole responsibility is crazy to me.
