I had to take a break from politics for my mental. I slipped up and read the headline about this clown yesterday. Honestly democracy in this country is finished. Its time to admit that the Republican party is winning the long game. Democrats are too fragmented, too weak and too naive to defend American democracy from Republicans. History will not judge Manchin and Sinema lightly. And Biden's presidency is just temporary relief before this country goes full fascist. Our best hope is the changing demographics leaning more to the left.
Joe Manchin: I won’t vote for For The People Act or Weaken/Eliminate Filibuster!

All facts. Manchin is the poster boy of the corporate democrats. Peep those Dems that voted against the $15 minimum raise.
Also, what exactly is manchin and corporate Dems against in the bill?
By any chance does it have to do with doing away with corporate money?This moron morning Joe from MSNBC said it was nothing more then a liberal wish list.

''The Senate, its processes and rules, have evolved over time to make absolute power difficult while still delivering solutions to the issues facing our country"What does Manchin want?And more importantly, who the fukk does he think he is? Nobody knows what the Senator of Montana thinks or what the Senator of New Hampshire thinks, yet this muthafukka stays in the media constantly. What a trash politician. But then again, his mentor was a former KKK member and the governor of his state ran as a Democrat only to switch back to Republican when Trump came in power. He's no different than them.
Can anyone look and say with a straight face that this is anywhere near true?
i guess we got a lot of bribing to doIf it was just manchin they could bribe him with pork for his state but it’s about 10-12 more hiding behind him

I'm someone who is starting to believe the powers that be want shyt to stay the same. What Manchin is pulling and refusing to fall in line gives the Democrats a "scapegoat" like what you said...and shyt doesn't change .Make it make sen...
Oh, I'm sorry, it does.
The general belief(on the right) is that several of its provisions infringe on state rights.
These two parts of the bill are also contentious.
The gerrymandering is also an issue to conservatives, but there’s no ground to stand on there other than we’ll have a harder time winning.
Campaign finance reform[edit]
The bill would introduce voluntary public financing for campaigns, matching small donations at a 6:1 ratio.[9] The money would come from a new "Freedom From Influence Fund" under the U.S. Treasury, which would collect funds by charging a small fee assessed on criminal and civil fines and penalties or settlements with banks and corporations that commit corporate malfeasance.[17] It also incorporates campaign finance reform provisions from the DISCLOSE Act,[9][22] which would impose stricter limitations on foreign lobbying, require super PACs and other "dark money" organizations to disclose their donors, and restructure the Federal Election Commission to reduce partisan gridlock. The bill expresses support for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, in which the Supreme Court held that limits on independent political expenditures by corporations, labor unions, and other associations are unconstitutional.[4][23]
The bill also raises the limit the national committee of a political party can spend on a political candidate to $100,000,000.
Ethics[edit]
The bill would require the president and vice president, as well as presidential and vice-presidential candidates, to publicly disclose their previous ten years of income tax returns. The bill would also eliminate the use of taxpayer money by members of Congress to settle employment discrimination claims, by requiring members of Congress to reimburse the Treasuryfor any such payments.[2][4][23][17][a] Another part of the bill would require the Judicial Conference to establish rules of ethics binding on the Supreme Court of the United States, the only court in the U.S. without a binding canon of judicial ethics.[17][2][4]
The legislation would also set new disclosure rules and limitations on presidential inaugural committees.[19] Inaugural committees would be barred from taking money from corporations; a contribution limit to inaugural committees of $50,000 per person would be imposed (under current law, there is no limit); contributions of more than $1,000 would have to be disclosed within one day; and the use of funds donated to inaugural committees would be restricted only to use for inaugural events and for charitable contributions.[17]

The Power Circle
Centrist are having a meltdown because moderate Joe Biden can't pass "progressive" policies because of moderate Joe Manchin?
Are you serious with this?

The important thing is to realize that the powers that be are not invincible. They're just people. They can be removed from power.
