Dear Senator Manchin:
I don't know you nearly well enough to presume to understand why you are considering "voting Republican" and possibly giving them the wedge they need to scuttle much of the Biden agenda. So, instead of talking like I know what's going on between your ears, let me just tell you how things look from where I sit.
Since you seem to favor "plain talk", I think you'll understand me when I say that your newfound "fame" as the linchpin in th he Democratic Senate seems to have you "swoll up like a poisoned pup"; you are brim-full of yourself and you just can't seem to resist the chance to strut "like a bantie rooster" as you grant audiences to Chuck Schumer and take calls from the President of the United States. You find yourself, for now, not just one of fifty but THE one who van determine whether the other 49 really count.
But, Senator, "this, too, shall pass".
If you are not careful, sir, the only thing the American people will remember about you will be that you killed timely covid relief that could have prevented the 2021 covid resurgence that killed additional thousands. People will not say "Joe was frugal with our tax money". They are likely to say "Joe is why _________ died before his/her time".
When you "go the way of all flesh", the first line of your newspaper obituaries will read "Joe Manchin, the West Virginia senator who blocked aid to desperate Americans during the deadly Corona virus pandemic of 2021-----" And, none of the rest will matter.
Like I said, that's just how it looks from where I sit, but know this: I ain't sittin' by here by my lonesome.
Seriously,
Atticus.
