You are correct. If you start to become woke, you might eventually start caring about others more than yourself and you might even start being a person that deserves to be called human, or Christian or decent, or aware, or compassionate or empathetic or intelligent. Till then, I am glad you are voting as a Democrat, but your wishing that more Democrats were like Manchin means that you and I won't be seeing eye to eye on a lot of things.
In a sane world, the woke thing would not be a thing, but Democrats selling out to greed and racism while becoming Republican light has not helped the planet, the nation, and anyone ever who was not already too rich to need any more money. You clearly loved the DLC or would love it now. When you look down at being woke, be careful, your privilege is showing.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
