If Sanders votes against Tanden, I'll eat my own dick
Bernie going to add forced gender reassignment surgery to his resume
It's Bernie just trying to get Tanden to commit to some actual policy in exchange for a vote. Which of course won't work but Bernie you do your electoralism thing 👏
I think it's clear that if they're going to do this, Bernie needs to be way more vocal about concrete reasons to oppose her than Manchin.... otherwise the replacement pick will be closer to Manchin on budget matters, because Manchin will be the "harder sell" than Sanders.
Who the hell is Biden going to pick that's closer than Neera Tanden? Like, at a certain point, it's the same policies and you're just fighting over who gets to sit in the big chair.
This nearly as big an attack on women as the time he wore mittens.
Sanders will probably vote for Tanden. It's clear his goal as a high ranking socdem is to try to get as many decent concessions from the dems and the Biden admin as he can. Although I would absolutely love to see Tanden eat shit, it's probably true that anyone that Biden would appoint will be functionally more or less the same. With that and Bernie's goals in mind, he's not likely to vote against her in the end. At most he, like others have suggested here, will try to use his necessary vote to gain a concession.

I still don't think he has the stones to do it, but with Manchin saying no he might not need to.
If Bernie doesn't pander this time, I'll have to get the scouter out again
How are you going to assume what their future will hold unless you use their past as an example?
