Oh Jesus, just fuck off.
The usual gang of idiots will throw their hat into the ring and no one will care. I’m only sad Lyndon LaRouche isn’t around anymore to give it another go.
Why would they let a Republican run on the Democrat ballot?
Naturally it would be preposterous for him to be on the ticket for President, but the reason they continue to let him run for Congress is because he counts towards the Dems in terms of determining which party has the majority and therefore sets the agenda for that chamber of Congress. Without him, that particular part of WV would almost certainly go to the GOP and tip control of the Senate firmly in their favor.
It’s a deal with a devil, and one that has burned the Dems more than once. But without him we’d probably be completely fucked.
So centrists have representation.
The guy who spent the last 4 years campaigning for most hated Democrat on the hill thinks he has what it takes to win the Dems over?
This is going to be such a shit show lol
“Let me in! Let me back in!”
Jeez this guy if he thinks he can play.
In the voice of Chandler Bing: Can he BE more of a Russian asset?!?
Can he BE more of a Russian asset?!?
After this visit, I am even more convinced that defeating Vladimir Putin and ending his ruthless war against the Ukrainian people must remain our top priority,” said Senator Manchin
Considering this statement, I’m not sure where you got the Russian asset thing from. Is it just reflexive to call people Russian assets who want to destroy Putin?
Probably has more to do with fucking the Democratic Party and, by extension given Trump etm., America over than anything going on in Ukraine.
Manchin could have switched parties anytime during his 18 years in office. He was a godsend when he ran the first time, and he’s been a godsend ever since.
He’s a piece of shit human, but he was the only democratic candidate with a chance at victory in West Virginia. His has been 85% better than any Republican that would have held his seat otherwise and it is infantile to pretend otherwise.
Manchin is infuriating, but he is no Sinema. He holds his office in a red state getting redder, not a pink state turning purple. He sometimes represents the wrong headed desires of his constituents and I can’t hold that against him. Far more often he has voted for the best interests of the country.
I agree to an extent. If not him, his seat would’ve been Republican, and that would’ve been worse. I mostly didn’t hold that against him.
However I think he really let America down when he was most needed. If there was a time to risk it all, I thought that was it. On top of that, what makes WV happy isn’t going to fly in the rest of the states. He would have people staying home in droves.
Oh absolutely. He would be a terrible VP pick and a prez run would flop. Not even WV likes him anymore.
Instead of what he says, look at all the fucked up shit he’s done over the past four years. Between Sinema and himself, who needs the Republican party to stonewall the Dems agenda?
And his press releases are written by the ministry of information in Moscow. 😎
I agree, actions do speak louder than words. Manchin voted yes to send $60b in lethal aid to Ukraine just this year. This ‘Russian asset’ sure is getting a lot of Russians killed. He doesn’t seem very good at being a Russian asset.
Edit: Improved the link
Do it you fucking clown. Do it and realize that none of us give a shit about you!
He must have a humiliation fetish.
Hahaha! Oh please don’t let anyone stop you from completely flopping.
Kamala could still pick him for VP.
Shitbird who nobody likes weighs the possibility of proving to himself how seriously he isn’t taken.
Good way to sell some books to the “undecided” voters
Well fuck that
Voters: Hey can we maybe get someone more progressive, I mean Harris is fine but Biden was actually a little bit left and that was pretty fuckin nice
Voters: Like idk, not even like a new Bernie Sanders, we loved him but even like to a 20% level of that, nothing crazy
Manchin: My time to shine, I think they’re gonna like this
(Edit: I used to be making fun of Democrats with the last line, but some people gave me shit for it and rightly so, so I changed it)
Joe Manchin is not “democrats”. He’s just one guy, and kinda an asshole. He’s not even a member of the party at the moment.
Fair enough
I changed it
He’s not even a Democrat right now. He’s just trying to get back in to challenge Harris. It won’t work.
Yeah. I changed it. The Democrats clearly don’t like him nor him them.
