Joe Manchin's daughter raised EpiPen prices over 400%. Neera Tanden criticized her. So Manchin killed Tanden’s nomination to be OMB Director. You do the math.
That info should have been front and center on every story about this vote and Manchin's role in scuttling the nomination of yet another person of color chosen by Biden. You shouldn't have to suss it out.
Which positions was she left of center? Bombing Libya and stealing the oil to pay for it? Outing sexual harassment victim? Her org basically being a lobby for big corporations to laundry ideas and influence policy that benefited them? Being rabidly pro Zionist?
It’s always possible that you’re fat left, so she’s to the right of you. I mean, I for example am a progressive, I’m not a socialist. If you’re a socialist, then you’d probably think I was to the right of Atilla the Hun. I’m familiar with the examples you mention, and they’ve all been cited out of context. I’m sorry, but I just don’t buy into the circling firing squads on the left, where were all supposed to hate each other instead of focusing on the real enemy, the Republicans. Feel free to listen to the podcast I link to, you can see for yourself what her views really are.
Oh I wish I'd known that. Manchin should be ashamed. What a disaster we didn't win 54 or 56 seats rather than 50.
I was shocked when I found out she was the EpiPen monster.

Agree. It just never made complete sense to me why Manchin would care about Neera allegedly penning "mean tweets." This, however, makes perfect sense.

Perhaps you're not fat left, but far left instead! I hate that they don't let us edit comments here :)
You had it right the first time.
