No Mr. Manchin American knew what President Biden

[kacekwl]

was running on and was soundly elected by the American people. We knew what we wanted and voted accordingly so your centrist America is bull. And we are tired of being run by minority losers. Stop blocking what Americans want and voted for.

2. And we certainly didn't vote for a coal-sniffing, maserati-driving, house-boating pos grifter

5. i wonder who paid for the maserati.

seems like the kind of thing that makes a nice present for a pet senator. just sayin.

27. Yes. He owns a coal brokerage business. He and his wife get $1 million plus a year from it and his s

10. BOOM!!!!!

You’re saying what I’m thinking, C_U_L8R.

12. Maserati-driving? No S**T! Wow!! What an ostentatious POS.

People who are described as ostentatious—or who have lifestyles described as such—typically are seen as spending money in a way that makes it clear that they have a lot of it. Their consumption may also be described with the word, in which case the emphasis is on the impressive [expensive] things they buy.

$75,000 to $150,000

Here is another question what is it like to have and die of black lung disease.
What does it mean to a coal mine owner Manchin?
Well from current medical news you can read a fairly good likeness by reading about Covid deaths.

But for direct information here is one source.

9. This argument simply doesn't fly

First - it ignores the fact that no president gets everything that he ran during the campaign - even when they win by much larger margins and have much larger majorities in the House/Senate

More importantly - it simply isn't true that we can make a connection between winning and everyone supporting everything we ran on. A huge number of people voted "I hate Trump". Biden could have run on spaying/neutering every cat and dog in the country - and they wouldn't care a whit whether he actually did it or not - because they just wanted to get rid of Trump.

Lastly - Quite a few senators (including Manchin) were not elected with Biden. They ran their own campaigns on their own issues. Why is one imagined mandate different from another?

18. Neither tells us who, exactly, Manchin is representing.

The simple fact is a majority of Americans want the changes in the legislation Manchin is holding up. They have broad popularity across the political spectrum, even in West Virginia.

The notion he's holding everything up out of concern for the political minority is disingenuous horseshit. I don't even know why we're having this discussion.

[certainot]

30. whether he's on some confused principle trip or is being bought, he needs to point to 'his

constituencies' to enable him - and democrats continue to make the mistake of not pointing out those constituencies he's using should be considered illegitimate - much of it flew out of limbaugh and sons collective radio ass and a lot of the global warming denial was part of the 2009 'climategate' hoax that started with a russian hack, and a lot of the 'balance the budget like at the kitchen table' 'progressives are fascist woke communists' hypocrisy flies out of every republican radio station all day

[kacekwl]

20. His statement that this is a centrist country

is the argument.

[SharonAnn]

28. But his position is not centrist.

[SharonAnn]

29. But his position is not centrist.

[LiberalFighter]

11. Gee I wonder how Manchin would fare if he ran for President.

Most likely would be last in the primary.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. America is fundamentally progressive & Democratic mainly, if you got rid of gerrymander & suppressio

[aggiesal]

15. And the electoral college ...

7 of the last 8 presidential elections, the (D) candidate received more votes than the (R) candidate.
Yet only 5 (D) were president. GWMcIdiot in 2000 and Pendejo46-1 in 2016 were both outvoted by (D).

[czarjak]

26. "If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'" The Trumpbilly meant it too.

[Jose Garcia]

14. The voters in WV knew what President Biden was running on too

Perhaps that is what is guiding Senator Manchin's actions.

[kacekwl]

19. We know what's guiding Manchin' s actions

Coal $$$$$$$$$$

[Rebl2]

21. Yep!

[monkeyman1]

17. let's get rid of the republican party ? no money & won't survive !

[I_UndergroundPanther]

Get rid of republicans and thier donors.
Then get money out of politics and turn off the spigot of lobbyists.
