David Sirota: You know, I'm being totally honest here, I haven't thought that far in advance, because my point the entire time has been that the House Progressives have to make public and specific demands about what they want in this bill. And they can still make those demands. They don't have to make 20 demands; they can make how about one demand, right? Right? Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are throwing out red lines every every... I can't do the tax; I can't do the drug... the Progressives just keep saying, "I want a robust bill." And my point is that they are still in a position to say, "You are not getting our votes unless you put x or y or z in there." And they could say, "drug price negotiation seems to me to be like a good full expansion of medicare." You know, let's stop pretending that uh, teeth and eyes are not part of the human body, right? I mean how ridiculous is that, right? Like we're only going to do hearing, but we're not going to do teeth. What kind of macabre grotesquery are we talking about here? Like put up something to show one: to get a victory on a policy, and two: to show that you're willing to fight for something right. They have not done that yet. They can still do it, and what what bothers me about it is that they're going out saying they're fighting for this, and they're holding up. And it's good that they're saying, "We're not going to vote for ... unless it's with the infrastructure bill." It's kind of a process thing to keep the bills strong, but it still is kind of sus that they're like not saying what they believe as a non-negotiable to be added into that bill. It's like you're kind of trying to have it both ways to like look like you're fighting but not be specific about what you want in there. And my point is like have that fight, like have that battle before you decide whether you're going to hold up the whole the entire bill.
