They also re-elected Manchin. So there must be some love for their Senator to re-elect him.

I fully get it. WV is quite red yet they voted for Manchin.

Manchin can portray the filibuster as a tool of right wing extremism.

If he is the moderate he claims to be, then he should be opposed to the filibuster.

All he has to do is state his case to his constituents: The filibuster is an ancient relic of authoritarian governments.
