Maine fukked up reelecting that bytch Collins smh.No other Democrat can win in West Virginia. Its easy to blame Manchin. We could also blame the Democratic party for running shytty Senate campaigns and being unable to pick up more seats. Seats that would have made Manchin and Sinema non factors.
The party apparatus continually looking at just D and R and numbers alone are missing the total picture and doing the health of the party a disservice. Yes, it's a big tent party and numbers do matter, but if someone is at the fringes of the party they have to at least be acting in good faith and be loyal when the rubber meets the road. The progressives fall in line when necessary and the right wing of the party defects. It's pretty clear where the blame should lie. If paper pushers and low IQ staffers want to keep blaming the Bernies and AOCs of the world for disenchanting moderate Democrats then it's only fair to blame Manchin and Sinema for disenchanting more left Democrats/Independents. When Bernie and AOC "wing" ran and pulled the Presidential platform to the left Democrats won.
Let's see what happens in November when Manchin was front and center shifting the narrative to the right since then
So the premise of this thread is that Dems should willingly give up the majority, let Mitch McConnell set Senate rules and schedule votes and nominees as he sees fit, and this shall achieve....what?
So why not just win other Seats?I'm not assuming that Dems cant win elsewhere to make up for losing Manchins seat. Again, hes a stain on the party in too many ways to continue to be enabled
So why not just win other Seats?
*blocks more legislation*
I will repeat it, the man endorsed a GOP candidate in last week's West Virginia 2nd Congressional Primary.Gotta be the further left's fault for being unreasonable that legislation ain't happening.
On a more honest note, it is pretty shameless of him to not only block, but to drop ads shytting on BBB and the party still lets him run amok. Nobody expects the Dems to be perfect - they are politicians after all. But it's a tragic comedy that is allowed to play out when your party isn't aligned on almost all operative fronts. From the voters to the polls, to the elected members themselves, they're a political Cleveland Browns franchise.
I don't think they can
If they get rid of him, a GOP fukkboy the likes of which we can't even comprehend will rise to power in West Virginia
Manchin himself is a fukkboy....his GOP replacement will probably make it state law that a baby is fed coal within the first few days of its life or some shyt
The only people who think this way are accelrationist.yes, eliminate manchin from a 70 percent Trump state, and replace him with marsha blackburn
the left's sense of strategy
