Manchin knows what he's doing to our Democracy,
By using his excuse of having to have bipartisanship, or he'll vote to allow Republicans to strip millions of Americans of their right to vote, and give republicans the option to overturn any election results they want to. Why? That needs to be answered why he's knowingly doing this to people in his state, and the rest of the people in this country.
He's handing them the ability to control elections not by bipartisan actions, but by partisan people, which will cause many Democrats to lose more elections, and power. They won't be bipartisan doing that either, and he knows that. What's his real motive behind doing this to us , and our country now? Is he being bought off, or has he been corrupted by trump and putin? We deserve to know the truth behind his actions.

He's got a load of explaining to do.
... he wants to get reelected. If there is no Libertarian next time, he will lose. He may lose, anyway... I also don't think he can win as a Republican - don't think the WV primary voters would trust him. So, it boils down to votes. There are not 60 votes... there are a few Republicans, bot not ten... it would have to be filibuster, which he has always opposed. I think, if there were nine Republicans, he'd be on board. So, he feels he needs to vote his own interests if his vote makes no difference. I think that's his calculation. We should stop focusing on him - where are there other votes? Run this ad... work the people. Maybe there are seven possible... target a few more.
... to a point. He could do that...
... but if we need 60 votes and don't even have 55, let him vote "Nay" and keep the seat blue. If we have 59 and need his vote, I expect something different.
