Joe Manchin\u2019s announcement that he\u2019s a \u201cno\u201d on President Joe Biden\u2019s multitrillion-dollar spending plan.<\/p>\n<p>His reasons are simple: \u201cIf I can\u2019t go home and explain it to the people of West Virginia, I can\u2019t vote for it.\u201d He also cited the madness of spending fresh trillions amid decades-high inflation, skyrocketing national debt and the ongoing pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Cue the Squad whingeing. <\/p>\n<p>Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) took to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> to call Manchin\u2019s explanation \u201cbulls\u2013t,\u201d insisting, \u201cThe people of West Virginia would directly benefit\u201d from the new spending.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) accused him of \u201cobstructing\u201d the president\u2019s agenda, charging that Manchin \u201chas never negotiated in good faith.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just the kind of harassment Manchin cited Monday as another reason he\u2019s rejecting the bill. He said the progressives acted as if they just bullied him enough \u2014 and encouraged people to heckle him at home or follow Sen. Kyrsten Sinema into bathrooms \u2014 he\u2019d go along. No dice.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Queens\/B\u2019klyn) wins the prize for concluding, \u201cIt is unconscionable the way the Senate operates. It\u2019s fundamentally undemocratic,\u201d she said on MSNBC\u2019s \u201cMorning Joe,\u201d demanding a \u201ccrackdown on the Senate, which operates like an old boy\u2019s club that has a couple of gals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet the Senate operates exactly as the Framers intended, deep-freezing legislation that lacks a sustained popular mandate. As James Madison wrote in the Federalist Papers: \u201cThe necessity of a senate is not less indicated by the propensity of all single and numerous assemblies, to yield to the impulse of sudden and violent passions, and to be seduced by factious leaders into intemperate and pernicious resolutions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In this instance, the violent passions of a crying Squad who are acting as if Manchin alone is killing its agenda. In reality, he\u2019s joined by 50 GOP senators, for a majority in opposition. (And other Senate Democrats are sympathetic \u2014 but reluctant to risk the hard left\u2019s ire.)<\/p>\n<p>To the Squad, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mobile.twitter.com\/AOC\/status\/1472635983019528204\">as AOC puts it<\/a>, \u201cdemocracy is on the line.\u201d Meaning it\u2019s not democracy if the group does\u2019t get its way, actual majorities be damned.\n                        <\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
