In reply to the discussion: Joe Manchin is Right. [View all]In It to Win It
(8,225 posts)18. The article leaves the implication that Joe Manchin had critiques of the FTP Act outside of the
partisan push to pass it.
To me, the author should work harder at creating a clearer separation of his opinions from those of Joe Manchin's.
The author starts off that Joe Manchin is right about everything surrounding the bill, and then lists everything that's wrong with the bill, including how flawed the content of the bill is... and from what I can tell, Joe Manchin didn't express any opinions on the content of the bill itself.

That article is exceptionally short-sighted, misinformed and biased. It needs to be ignored.

Manchin is dead set against one voting rights bill, McConnell is against the other one.

well if he'll fight for the John Lewis Law and not this one, he is right. It's his choice.
