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

Is the Democrats’ legislative agenda finished in the Biden era?

Why do I feel like Republicans would stomp out a guy like Manchin?

They seem to stay on code always besides Romney and some others regarding Trump.
If Republicans had someone in say CA or NJ how effective would Trump have been. Trump tried to get his party to eliminate the filibuster many his in his first year and McConnell just ignored him.

That’s because they usually hold 54 seats in states they don’t have to worry about challenges often. They can let Romney mouth off.

Dems get a McCaskill or Manchin just to get 51.

All these voter protection laws in GOP states happened cause they lost Georgia. If they actually start getting challenged in red states they will freak out.

Obama must think it can work but I don't see it

He also highlighted yesterday that they have to get something passed so he clearly knows the danger

Obama is a traditionalist, which has always been his biggest flaw. He really believes in and wants to sell the idea that the status quo of working within the confines of the existing system is an effective way to continue to govern. He, Biden and other centrists/moderates believe that flaws introduced in that system are repairable. None of them want to accept the fact that the system is in an unrepairable state and that those on the other side of the aisle will continue to poison it at will for their own benefit.

The system has to evolve to prolong this country's existence and way of life.
