Progressives rightfully expected human infrastructure investment in the BBB bill. That doesn't make them "far left." It makes them full on Democratic in party policy. So I gotta say that Jeffries could get Schumer to write up standalones and test this out. Getting a few is better than nothing, right. I also gotta say, too, that your "if" statement about standalones, or even added items, has no relevance in critiquing the judgment of the Progressive Caucus's position re the BBB bill.
We're dealing with a known -- trumpcult. The Sedition Caucus.
Progressives already know we have two sold out holdouts, and progressives still appropriately commit to party policy. They did their jobs, and met with the holdouts weekly during the first have of the legislative term. They got them closer to the party's view, and Biden wasn't halfway for their stance; he was all in. He had the final meetup with the holdouts, so the Progressives are his people and he's with them.
Who is choosing to primary, and how the party spends in support of battleground primaries is on them, not the progressives in general. I support Jeffries, but I don't agree with him, unless he gives the party more information on these questionable primary candidates.
