This isn't a half loaf. It is crumbs. Started at 10 trillion over 10 years, is now 1.7 and falling. But only the reconciliations bill is getting gutted. The bill for the oligarchs is in tact. If progressives accept crumbs they will get the worst of all scenarios. No electoral bump because it won't really help people, and less leverage next time because they fucking caved...again.

You have to be able to say no and walk away to have leverage.
