3. The Greatest Democrat in history won't back this bill?

Well color me shocked. Since he is the most Democratiest Democrat in the history of the world, I can’t believe he won’t go for this. 🙄

It’s because of people such as he that the fascist right is going to fulfill their long term goal of turning us into an autocratic oligarchy. We can’t defeat them when even “our own” feel no urgency to do so. We just avoided it by the skin of our teeth but we can’t avoid it forever or even a couple of cycles. When President Hawley becomes dictator, it’ll be because of this guy.

I hate it that even when we win, we really don’t win.

5. I'm no longer surprised.....

by anything Manchin does to stand in the way of President Biden's agenda. Now the usual suspects can tell me how lucky we are to have Manchin on "our side".

6. It's not a matter of being "lucky"...

...just of being a lot less fucked than we'd be if Machin wasn't ever so slightly on our side. That doesn't stop me from being pissed at Manchin. It does stop me from saying stupid things to express my disappointment like, "He might as well switch parties", however.

7. He is voting for voter suppression by not voting for this bill. I think people should tell

him this. Also he is supposedly a strict Catholic. All the Democratic programs to help the poor will lose if he doesn't vote with them. What kind of Christian is that? It is a hypocritical GQP Christian that's what.

And he doesn't know that as soon as we pick up a few more seats; which I believe we will he will lose support and be tossed out like the road kill that he is.

8. Why the hell not

[Maraya1969]

9. I think it is silly of Dems to stick with him no matter what. He could be primaried

and the new Dem candidate can win. He hangs on to this belief that he will never be primaried. Well if WV voted for one Dem they can certainly vote for another. We just need to find someone who is really great and who puts Manchin to shame - like a decorated vet.

10. Manchin is not a man of his word then
