So, lets see, Manchin demands bipartisanship with a voting rights bill, or he'll vote no,

Causing millions to lose their voting rights, especially minorities, and gives corrupt republicans the power to overturn election results just because they can , causing more Democrats to lose their elections. His refusal to prevent these injustices that will happen from his actions makes me wonder has he been corrupted to do this to our country? Why is he claiming bipartisanship is more important to him then millions of Americans losing their voting rights, and elections being corrupted by them reversing them because they didn't win? I think he's a fraud, and investigators should follow the money. This isn't russia Joe.

filibustered the bill, anyway, did Manchin hold McConnell accountable? Nope. He never does.

I thought it was Sinema’s, although why Patty Murray gets a pass I’m not sure. Personally, I blame Republicans.

Some here say he’s dumb. He’s not that dumb, no way. His rationale doesn’t cut it, it’s just the most convenient (and self-serving) cover story. I have become a cynic about him, and it’s creeping broader, too. Has he done anything in WV to sell the importance of the principle? Town halls to get feedback and put the ideas out there for his constituents to chew on? I haven’t heard about it, if he has. Seems he finds the Rs’ vitriol more compelling than democracy, since he’s been so passive.
