Well if shit went down now, he probably wouldn’t impeach the second time and four years is a long time to make a heel turn… have you guys learned nothing from the great Dvaut? Consistency is irrelevant, politics = wrestling.
How did Cruz/Rubio whining but but but Trump is a Democrat!!! in the R primaries work out for them?
I agree, but he’s toast in 2024 no matter what he does. I wish he would understand that and YOLO it up.
Work has been slow this month. Net worth will probably end up going deeper into the red. $2k would change that. Dunno if that qualifies as “need” though. I won’t end up on the streets or in my van.
Honestly thats what is weird to me. He’s in a red 40+ state or w/e right? His political calculations are I can get away with impeaching lord god king Trump twice but not nuking the filibuster?
It can’t be that. Gotta be corporate pressure or him just really not wanting to pass a bunch of the popular shit.
Places like WV were cool with Manchin before they realized the Dems are a cabal of Satanic pedophiles. Huge LOL at thinking Manchin can vote in support of the entire Dem agenda and face zero consequences as long as he gets some stuff for WV. WV voters probably want a Qanon guy from 8chan in office at this point
Nah, you’re just wrong and a whiny shitposter. I’ve done more to help this community and people in need during this pandemic than you have, I’m certain of it. I know of at least one person I have helped that definitely needs the stimulus and if you bothered to get to know anyone here you’d realize there’s a lot of people here hurting and struggling.
meanwhile people like me are doing something about it while you sit on your ass posting horribly on a board where no one even likes you or wants your opinion. Like, I’m sorry your minimum wage service job sucks but maybe this isn’t the best place to take out that frustration, because precisely zero people here do anything even close to what you’re talking about.
Sounds like a need to me. I think if you qualify, you need it. I think the people making 100x the stimulus check per year need to check themselves
Your argument requires thinking that I haven’t done anything to help the less fortunate, which is a complete and total lie. When I call you a left basher, it’s because you make stupid ass posts bashing the left, it’s pretty simple.
But hey keep lying about how I do nothing to help the world and only shitpost if it makes you feel better, you lying asshole
Minimum wage? Lmao. I haven’t worked in a year and I’m still living comfortably off World Series winnings. I’ve sent thousands to Raices and mutual aid, food banks. I’m tipping exorbitantly at every juncture. Go fuck your self
The guy Manchin barely beat in 2018 was a typical classic Republican: scummy lawyer and pharmaceutical lobbyist.
Maybe. If he brings home enough bacon he might be fine.
In fact the ultimate opportunity to buy reelection is the climate change bill. WV is the third poorest state in the Union narrowly beaten out by MS and LA for the title of worst. There are enormous justifications for helping WV in any climate change bill, and Joe Manchin needs to deliver ~10-20k personally to every person in his state while getting it done. That and a fuckton of federal jobs.
Hilariously we can send 10k to everyone in WV for <20B dollars… so it’s pretty cheap as purchases go.
If anything the GOP Senator that votes against it needs to worry about a Democrat.
The people arguing for fealty to the Democratic Party are six figure earners. Obviously there are people struggling on the board but everyone here who fellates the Democrats is a well established professional with zero need for assistanxe
Tell me what I should personally do to enact Bernie’s agenda and I’ll do it
I’m sure there are exceptions but I don’t think anyone doubts that there’s a big correlation between ideology and wealth around here.
Is “six figure earner” the new “centrist”?
With respect to the filibuster can someone answer this question for me:
Why was McConnell agreeing to allow the Dems to have the gavels (which I assume is some internal Senate organization rulemaking) subject to the filibuster, but something like eliminating the filibuster for SCOTUS nominees not subject to the filibuster?
I guess that’s why jmakin thinks I’m a minimum wage service employee who hates his job. Nice classism
WHY ARE ALL THESE DISGUSTING SIX FIGURE EARNERS ENGAGING IN CLASSISM!!!
Want to get mad at Democrats? Get mad at them for not gerrymandering the shit out of every state they can. This is just political malpractice.
Redistricting commissions in NY and CA. Fuck off.

I doubt that very much.
