Watching MSNBC right now, and it appears Manchin is still being a pain in the rear

[CatWoman]

He is needing constant communication and stroking in order to keep him as an ally to Biden's coronavirus bill.

[Celerity]

1. At least 2 more years of this grandstanding. Yay!

He truly needs to become a better team player. None of the things he is blocking or wants to block (and that all or almost all of the rest of the hundreds of Dems in the House and Senate support, including Biden himself) aid him in his re-election 4 years from now.

2. Manchin

Needs to get off the high horse get some humility and get with Bidens agenda.

Biden has to snap him in line and tell him the truth why conservatism is a bullshit belief .

If Manchin wants to help his constituants, he has to get off his ass and help with Biden's agenda. Manchin needs to quit playing games and blocking bills like Moscow Mitch would do .You ain't a kingmaker you are a pain in the ass,Manchin. So put your ego aside ..shit or get off the pot.

8. Manchin is always a pain in the butt. why does he run as DEM when he acts like

a republican? He needs to DO FOR THE PEOPLE !!!


PLEASE SIR, LOVE THE PEOPLE OF THE USA

[brooklynite]

9. He acts like a conservative Democrat...which is far better than a Republican

If OUR REVOLUTION thinks they can elect a progressive in WV, I'd love to know why.

3. I'm not watching MSNBC, but I know what he's probably saying ...

and doing, and being a pain in the ass is putting it lightly. I'm so sick of him making his ass so self-important, the the big cheese of everything.

I wish Dems could pick up a Senate seat in another state, so that they can tell him to kiss their asses, then go walk off a short pier.

[Proud liberal 80]

4. Yeah

Would have been nice if we had won in Maine and North Carolina

[BComplex]

6. And we should have won Maine and North Carolina...and South Carolina, and Kentucky.

None of those 4 elections made any sense, in any way.

[LenaBaby61]

15. "None of those 4 elections made any sense, in any way."

Nothing EVER makes any sense with how Moscow Mitch always wins Kentucky by huge #'s and he's so wildly unpopular. Yes, I know Ky. is gerrymandered to the gills, and that voting machines in the communities of color/Dems are always removed or limited so restrictively or moved to another area far away from where they live/vote, that many poc cannot even vote. But damn, there have to be people voting for him in large enough numbers that he can win., & ALL of them aren't wealthy or 1%'ers, and the thing is that he never does anything for Kentucky or it's poorest or even for their lower middle-class, non-white people there. Greedy Moscow Mitch and Moscow Chow ONLY live to enrich themselves to the tune of them lining their pockets with hundreds of millions of dollars (Hers from her family and their alleged shady business dealings/and with shady
dealings in Ky, and him also within KY and with allegedly russian oligarchs).

[BComplex]

17. True LenaBaby61. And we continue to be ruled by the minority party in this country, and it has

to stop somehow. I don't think our founding fathers quite intended it to be this bad.

[Freethinker65]

5. Perhaps have a few other Democrats "demand" something get added or taken away for their votes...

For their votes that would affect Manchin in WV. Like phasing out coal for solar or wind, or money to combat opioid abuse funnelled to larger cities and states. Not that anyone actually wants to deny aid for WV, but come on Manchin. Manchin needs to know with a slim majority that he is not the only Dem with power...and if everyone acted like Manchin nothing would get done.

[BComplex]

7. Good point. Everyone on DU could also call his office and tell him to quit holding up progress!

I'm all in for that!

[brooklynite]

11. I'm not a constituent, and I'm guessing you aren't either...

[BComplex]

12. Anybdy can call his office.

His office is going to CARE more if you're a constituent, but they know people donate from out of state to senatorial candidates. They start to listen if they get enough calls.

[mmbrevo]

10. The Democrat's answer to rand paul...

I think he just loves the attention. His mama didn’t give him enough hugs when he was a boy.

[mopinko]

13. he needs to be made chairman of the committee on

who gives a fuck.
srsly, sit this idiot down and read him the history of the 2010 midterms.

[brooklynite]

14. You mean the midterms we won with moderate candidates?

While almost every candidate endorsed by OUR REVOLUTION and JUSTICE DEMOCRATS lost?

[bdamomma]

16. What

is Manchin looking for something for him???? Get out of the way.........
