He didn't even commit to using budget reconcilation, and said he'd continue hoping for a bipartisan deal...

He could, you know, affirmatively say that he wants to use budget reconcilation and instead focus on negotiating between progressives and moderates like joe manchin. It's not going to happen overnight either way, but it doesn't show he's not slowing down the process compared to what Democrats in Congress would prefer, which was the contention of the original tweet...

Ok what do you guys think "and this isn't directed at you specifically" means?

I'm genuinely curious as to why your schools would even let you advance to the next grade while reading at a 1st grade level.

It's not an attack on Biden... I dunno how many times I have to say it, but I never expected them to move faster than they are now. I didn't accept the premise of that topic, my response was literally "I don't know why I would expect them to do anything before they have to."

If anyone had asked me my opinion instead of assuming it and arguing against it (badly) you guys would know that my opinion is Biden doesn't have much power to speed or slow down negotiations on this issue.

But certainly signing an EO or this rejection of, again, literally the first offer doesn't show anything either way about the original contention, whether or not I agree with it.

Riiiight. Which isn't him blocking anything. You can't get on others reading comprehension and then fail so utterly at it yourself. Words have meaning, and what that tweet said is not what you claim. You're lying, unless you have something that actually says what you claim was said.

No the tweet which you didn't read said Biden stopped Democrats from using reconciliation which we now know didn't happen. Stopping a bill from getting passed so you can negotiate a bipartisan one that will never exist is effectively blocking aid.

But if you want to cling to semantics out of desperation be my guest.

Biden literally cannot stop Democrats from using reconciliation.

What he can do is prefer they not do so, and attempt instead to get republicans on board.

It is indeed great that he reminded republicans that reconcilation is a thing, but it doesn't refute the idea that he's slowing down negotiations.

I read the tweet. It said they were ready to move ahead and Biden wanted to see if he could get Republican support.

You're not just trying to cling to semantics, you're making up shit that didn't happen.

"Biden is not going to side with Republicans" isn't abrasive. It's just that a lot of people here have a low opinion of me so to watch me constantly be right about this stuff hurts their ego.

This is definitely when a lot of otherwise normal people here went off the deep end and fell into the whole bernie bro cult. The hate boner for me started during the primaries when everyone was saying I was an idiot for thinking Biden would win. Feels like CE suddenly went from alt-right trolls like admiral and mal who thought I was a socialist to delusional tankies who think I'm right-wing.

On the internet, normal people are the weird ones.

Are you on something? Nothing in that tweet ended up being true. Republicans came out with their own plan and Biden immediately rejected it and came out in support of reconciliation. He is not "bipartisan curious", there will be no time wasted on attempting to meet in the middle.

You are arguing against a Biden strawman you constructed. Get help.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/25/covid-stimulus-updates-biden-and-congress-try-to-reach-relief-deal.html

Just take it at his own word for it. Democrats can file the reconcilation legislation without deciding to use it for covid relief. The committees get a lot of authority in crafting the exact provisions of reconcilation. I'm sure Biden would prefer to do it in a bipartisan way and save reconciliation for more divisive policies, but who knows how that's impacting the timeline of covid relief. Certainly nothing in this topic has helped shed light on that
