they had no idea it was going to pass without their votes, you can't tell me they expected 6, much less 13 republicans were going to vote for it...
the "human infrastructure" bill is important, but this was like the election...it was important to get SOMETHING done, to be seen getting something done...take what you can get at the moment and then shove the rest down their throats when you have a little more time, NOW the progressives should get in Biden's shit about the family bill, and stay there till they get what they want, but they should have never tried to hold the infrastructure bill hostage
