22. Yeah it's frustrating

Jun 2021

My pet peeve is taxation and wealth inequality.

I'd like to see MAJOR changes in how this nation is funded.

But it's not going to change overnight. It will take time.

GOOD GOVERNANCE will keep getting DEMS elected. Do a good job, just like Obama and Clinton.

So WV wants Manchin to vote with Senator Warren all the time? WarGamer Jun 2021 #31

Why do you speak for all WV? LakeArenal Jun 2021 #40

That voting rights bill won't pass as there are not 60 votes. Demsrule86 Jun 2021 #124

Which is exactly why the filibuster has to be addressed in some manner. Vinca Jun 2021 #132

We should be thankful Manchin is helping repukes obstruct what 70% of Americans want. onecaliberal Jun 2021 #20
