Joe Manchin: I won’t vote for For The People Act or Weaken/Eliminate Filibuster!

[Armchair Militant]

He’s perpetually “disappointed”

yep they are starting to call him out. It’ll be interesting to see how he handles the scrutiny, he was loving the spotlight but forgot that is the most dangerous place you can be.

old fool about to learn a new trick? We’ll have to see

Progressive caucus been going at Manchin.

It will matter when the moderates start attacking Manchin.

This is true.

No, that's what you're arguing for, because fukk them, if they really wanted it, they should have voted for somebody else, right?

That's actually about the only thing Pressure said that did make sense though. Manchin's been entrenched in WV politics for damn near 40 yrs. This is still mostly on them.

Same way we shyt on cops for allowing the bad behavior of another cop.

That's because cops should report other cops for bad behavior or even physically stop them in the worst cases.

What the fukk is another Democrat supposed to do about Manchin? I still don't see the realistic strategy forward. Same thing happened to the Republicans last term with several major votes and they had a bigger margin to work with. It wasn't like they were able to do anything in retaliation.

So far so good right? What's his legacy so far as president? $2000 checks? Nope. $15 minimum wage? Nope. Even an attempt at a public healthcare option? Nope. Filibuster reform? Nope. Strengthening voting rights? Nope. Police teform? Nope.
I know this is the rope a dope. He's playing like he's not going to do anything and just bombard us with legislation passes later. lol

How are you guys talking about legacy when the guy is 5 months into a 4 year term ? Like at least wait a year to start drawing conclusions

Call him out, for one. Which they've reluctantly started doing. He pulled this shyt before and Biden pulled his card. So do it again.

With no filibuster reform the outcome of his presidency is pretty obvious. Nothing that good is going to happen.

Because it’s too stupid to believe

Manchin is Sue Collins if she was dumb enough to actually vote against her party. That’s a special kind of stupid

Manchin faces no punishment for his actions which is why he can be the doofus he is.
