Manchin is only one of 50 blue senators. We don't need to cater to his whim at all.

Force him to vote down a $3 trillion bill down, destroy Biden's agenda, and become a pariah—if that's what he so chooses.

1. Destruction of the agenda and the country is EXACTLY what he wants.

3. Then we hang that around his neck

If he wants to be the new Joe Lieberman, then let him be Joe Lieberman.

4. How does that help? If he succeeds, we can shame him all we want; we're dead anyway.

5. We're dead if we let him get his way

We don't want him to claim victory while the rest of us has nothing to run on.

2. Manchin is already disliked by most of the party.

He's quite used to the feeling.

6. He seems to enjoy the attention and hatred....

He likes stirring the pot and upsetting people.
