Napoleon and many of his ilk continuously smeared Bernie because he has an I next to his name. Meanwhile Joe Manchin has a D next to his name. Democrats have a problem when they have fervent online spokespeople that would vote for Manchin over Bernie if they were heads up in a primary.
'But he's not a Democrat!'

Manchin is 90% more in line with their actual active agenda than Bernie is.
If you disbelieve that, then just look at who their biggest donors are and ask how many of those donors would prefer Bernie in power over Manchin.

That's a shame.
Thanks pal. Glad you agree. Have a nice weekend
No one is thinking about Bernie. 
Bernie lost to Hillary who lost to Trump. Using HLs logic, that makes Bernie the worst candidate of all time

I find it problematic that the Democrats have elevated, enabled and bowed to the most conservative member of their caucus in the senate. The claim was that Bernie was too disruptive and costed Hillary the election. I will wait and see if Manchin gets congruent blame if the Dems lose the mid terms and the oval in 2024.
The long term disproportionate focus on electability has damaged the party badly. Its dragged the entire country to the right and depressed enthusiasm of voters who are least susceptible to go right wing entirely.
The party is trying to select winners rather than trying to deliver a winning message and supporting candidates that are copacetic with that message.
What does the party really stand for when it allows the one member least in line with the platform to tank them? What does the voter believe in when they vote for someone who is most appealing to the opposition?
You have the right to support Manchin because hes in line with your values more than someone like Bernie is.
Have a nice weekend

It's about blind party loyalties, voting on perceived electability, moving to the right, bad messaging and so much more!
If I rather said Howie Hawkins was heads up in a primary vs Manchin and the most vocal democrat shill on a popular website was shilling for Manchin would that have sufficed?
The names dont matter other than a point of reference

I never subscribed to this logic
