He's the right age to get the fuck out of politics and let the younger generation take all those fossil fuel pay outs... I mean let the younger generation steer the course of their future, in which he will have died of old age while they suffer from his incompetence.
So interesting that the two candidates the right think are going to shift us from voting for Biden are a crazed anti-vaccination conspiracy wonk, and the one of two Senators that have stopped us from getting any legislation done.
But it'll be enough to shift independents.
Yea, I was shocked that Joe Manchin thinks Democrats would vote for him after he became infamous with stopping legislation we wanted. Crazy.
He’s not the Senate swing vote any more, so this is how he gets attention.
He was never a Democrat. Just someone willing to vote either way for enough grease.
Oh yes he was. Manchin is a residual from the neoliberal movement. He's a great reminder that Democrats have been "radical centrists" for decades.
Democrats aren't your friends. They're just the better option between two conservative parties.

Exactly.
He also at least votes for a Dem Majority Leader and, coming from West Virginia, the alternative would be a full-fledged Republican.
I don't like the guy, I disagree with him majorly, but he's better than the only likely alternative.
A barely necessary evil given how tight everything is. I wouldn't feel bad if he stepped on a lego, though.
