He makes Scrooge look like a saint.

3. He will go down in history alongside Benedict Arnold.

Still pulling for Democracy, but this makes it more likely authoritarians will prevail.

2. Since he owns his own coal mine, there's

plenty of lumps of coal for each American.

[Tommymac]

5. He is the coal mine canary for the rise of Authoritarianism.

They have infiltrated the Democratic Party.

This is in effect their public debut - the covers have been thrown off.

Interesting to see how this affects President Biden - he has to be feeling betrayed right about now.

4. What a fucking goddamned dickbag

Drop dead, Manchin.

[Guilded Lilly]

6. Oh, he CAN; he won't. Massive difference you total jagoff.

7. Do what Bernie says:

Go vote on it in front of the entire country and get Manchin on the record!

[Tommymac]

8. Absolutely. Schumer needs to call a vote as soon as the Senate returns from break.

This is to protect President Biden. Otherwise the M$M is going to blame him totally for Manchin's breach of trust.

9. all of the people who worked overtime to convince us there's some point in Manchin

...while, at the exact same time, bending over backwards to criticize progressives as 'far left.'

Whatever the ideology of our party, there's just a handful in Congress bent on opposing the party's and the president's agenda just like republicans.

They call themselves 'moderates,' and brag about their 'centrism' up until someone dares call them out for their ultra conservatism.

[Tommymac]

10. And the M$M and it's 'both-siderism' - they pretend to be impartial but in fact share the blame

And right now all of them make me puke.

11. Greatest Page for this important post. n/t

[Tommymac]

12. Thank You Peggy.

Reading GD this morning, this is one of many.

Hopefully it increases awareness that Our party has members that are part of the problem too.

Greed is everything to some.

13. Time for all the dems in the country to inundate Manchin with letters

and memes. Let him see what everyone is saying about him. It may not change him, but he cannot say he didn't know what people are thinking.

[Tommymac]

14. He is like all the other greedy asshats. He has no conscience or empathy.

But an avalanche of critical letters can be effective with the General Public if the M$M would report it.

15. Manchin was *never* going to get to yes

I hope what’s been clear to most people all along is finally clear to everyone who’s been simping for him all year.
