Never. That said, it should be really easy to get Manchin to go along with more progress actions. FSogol Feb 2021 #3

Well stated. JoanofArgh Feb 2021 #17

No, of course Manchin and WV are fine. WV LIKES Manchin and reelected Hortensis Feb 2021 #10

I don't think WV likes Manchin as much as they did in 2018- constituent groups are confronting him Fiendish Thingy Feb 2021 #14

Please BGBD Feb 2021 #48

As long as he is defending the views of his constituecy, yes. He's moving away from that with hlthe2b Feb 2021 #15

He's serving a VERY BROAD CONSTIUENCY, and a position that disappoints Hortensis Feb 2021 #20

You keep stating what we all know as though you think we fellow DUers are stupid or the "enemy." hlthe2b Feb 2021 #23

We are in an era of extremist resurgence. Reality always has been Hortensis Feb 2021 #30

Seems you are lumping us all into the RW creation of what "socialism" is and making DU the enemy hlthe2b Feb 2021 #31

Sorry that's your take. I'd of course love to hear you Hortensis Feb 2021 #36

Since when is THAT the goal? I contest that strongly. You may point to an individual poster or two hlthe2b Feb 2021 #37

Well aware of what went on in 2016. What evidence do you have this conspiracy is going on hlthe2b Feb 2021 #39

you use the word 'illiberal' to demean progressives bigtree Feb 2021 #40

I'm progressive and not demeaning myself. Illiberal refers to Hortensis Feb 2021 #44

I know what the word means, I'm sure you don't bigtree Feb 2021 #45

No purpose in continuing. I'll leave you to hopefully Hortensis Feb 2021 #46

Yes it does. Celerity Feb 2021 #61

Mark Kelly doesn't seem to have these issues BradAllison Feb 2021 #68

I'm all about unity and I believ unity starts Boydog Feb 2021 #49

He doesn't intend to obstruct Biden, though. Manchin is a progressive Hortensis Feb 2021 #50

Biden should publicly ask Jerry Nadler to open a special investigation into corporate inversions. Efilroft Sul Feb 2021 #13

Do you want to give the Senate back to McConnell? N/T Big Blue Marble Feb 2021 #16

Do you want Biden to have his cabinet? Efilroft Sul Feb 2021 #19

An attempt to intimate Manchin Big Blue Marble Feb 2021 #33

How can anyone seriously believe the Democrats will be tough on Republicans... Efilroft Sul Feb 2021 #52

That is not how it works; no matter how frustrating it is. Big Blue Marble Feb 2021 #54

And I'm saying the Democrats need to take Manchin's power over Biden's agenda out of his hands. Efilroft Sul Feb 2021 #55

Did you see the vote this afternoon on Tom Vilsack's nomination? Anything to say? George II Feb 2021 #58

Good. That's what. Efilroft Sul Feb 2021 #59

Check who voted for and against him. George II Feb 2021 #60

I know Manchin did and Bernie didn't. Efilroft Sul Feb 2021 #63

What's a "golf clap"? George II Feb 2021 #65

It's the clap the gallery gives to a golfer when he makes par on an easy hole. Efilroft Sul Feb 2021 #66

I don't get the correlation, but not important. Just amazed at the "double standard". Whatever. George II Feb 2021 #69

And what's this double standard of which you speak? Efilroft Sul Feb 2021 #74

Well, on the one hand you insist that Manchin vote for all of Biden's nominees (which I want, too).. George II Feb 2021 #78

This is about Manchin, not Bernie. I understand Bernie's reasons but disagree with them. Efilroft Sul Feb 2021 #79

It's about Senators supporting Biden's nominees. Why all the fretting about Manchin, who..... George II Feb 2021 #80

Why the fretting? Because Manchin's confirmed far worse than Tanden and Haaland. Efilroft Sul Feb 2021 #81

Manchin isn't up until '24 bigtree Feb 2021 #28

He is not catering to the right wing in his state. Big Blue Marble Feb 2021 #34

he's absolutely appeasing the right wing bigtree Feb 2021 #35

I am not pretending anything. Big Blue Marble Feb 2021 #41

so every legislative fight we can expect Manchin to lead with his republican appeasment bigtree Feb 2021 #42

He's not the only non-republican Senator opposing at least one of those women. George II Feb 2021 #64

West Virginia doesn't have a pot to piss in BradAllison Feb 2021 #71

I agree. Manchin needs to be made to Boydog Feb 2021 #22

I'm fearing that he's getting ready to bail on the party msfiddlestix Feb 2021 #29

Doesn't seem like a good time to Boydog Feb 2021 #32

What he's doing now doesn't make sense unless he might be considering before midterms msfiddlestix Feb 2021 #43

It would probably be a lot easier for him to be elected as a Republican Jose Garcia Feb 2021 #56

Haven't tracked when his reelection is coming up msfiddlestix Feb 2021 #57
