And this past month he has saved the country by stopping the passage of expanded social safety net programs that are just too expensive.

You agreed with that? That Manchin saved the country by stopping the passage of President Biden's expanded social safety net programs because they were just too expensive?

Pardon me, well, if that's your actual opinion, thanks for sharing it.

Would you mind if I quote you on that going forward?

Well, honestly, I would in any case, it would be part of the public record here on DU.

I mean, you DID see the

emoji, right?

Hoo baby...

Well, thanks for participating in the thread in any case.

There have been 453 votes in the Senate since the term began in January. George II Nov 2021 #17

How many votes on legislation? (Not counting procedural votes) nt Fiendish Thingy Nov 2021 #56

I don't know. You can find them on the internet, I'm not poring over 453 votes. George II Nov 2021 #62

I believe the answer is two, possibly three Fiendish Thingy Nov 2021 #80

Try a LOT more than two or three. If three were the case, everyone's ratings would be.... George II Nov 2021 #81

Manchin's stance on the environment has nothing to do with his coal company. bluewater Nov 2021 #11

Reminds me of this (anybody good at Photoshop?)... Wounded Bear Nov 2021 #10

Although I get the sarcasm.... JohnnyRingo Nov 2021 #12

Seriously, I honestly thought Manchin would be satisfied with all the concessions bluewater Nov 2021 #15

Did Manchin enjoy the trump years KT2000 Nov 2021 #13

Yes, he did. lagomorph777 Nov 2021 #59

100% record? FoxNewsSucks Nov 2021 #16

Nope, Manchin has a 100% voting record supporting Biden, to date. bluewater Nov 2021 #19

Neena Tanden's nomination was withdrawn after Manchin publicly went on the record and said No Celerity Nov 2021 #34

Manchin wasn't the first one to balk at Tanden's nomination, it was the Committee chairman.... George II Nov 2021 #46

Sander's never came out and said nope, no way, like Manchin did. Manchin blocked Neera Tanden for Celerity Nov 2021 #58

She asked that the nomination be withdrawn before the Budget Committee voted. If there was no.... George II Nov 2021 #65

she would not have been confirmed because Manchin said NO, and no Rethug was coming to her aid. Celerity Nov 2021 #67

ikr bluewater Nov 2021 #69

Here's a NYT article about the pushback she got. Senator Manchin's name isn't even mentioned in it: George II Nov 2021 #73

And none of them saying Sanders was against her nomination wellst0nev0ter Nov 2021 #78

You have to read the articles. George II Nov 2021 #79

Assuming I didn't wellst0nev0ter Nov 2021 #83

see post 84, the poster only posted articles from 9 days BEFORE Manchin came out & publicly said No Celerity Nov 2021 #85

Oh yeah, forgot about the twitterbot aspect wellst0nev0ter Nov 2021 #86

all your articles are from 9 days BEFORE Manchin publicly announced he was a NO on Tanden Celerity Nov 2021 #84

He hasn't voted against everything, because he blocks it before the vote. lagomorph777 Nov 2021 #18

Exactly, like blocking the major Build Back Better reconciliation bill bluewater Nov 2021 #21

I'm certainly glad he's a Democrat instead of Republican. NurseJackie Nov 2021 #23

I prefer to believe Senator Manchin is reachable if enough Democrats call him out bluewater Nov 2021 #24

None of that qazplm135 Nov 2021 #25

But is not supporting half of President Biden's major agenda really a bad thing? bluewater Nov 2021 #26

Run him out and put a Republican in there... see what happens in a 51/49 Senate. NurseJackie Nov 2021 #35

People want to help Manchin change his views and start SUPPORTING the Build Back Better framework. bluewater Nov 2021 #36

This isn't working. The smears and attacks aren't how minds are changed. NurseJackie Nov 2021 #37

I don't think that Senator Manchin spends much time reading DU. bluewater Nov 2021 #40

Of course he doesn't read DU. That's why all this hair-on-fire ranting is so silly... NurseJackie Nov 2021 #43

Then you weren't talking about DU when you said "it just hardened Manchin and he dug-in his heels"? bluewater Nov 2021 #45

Did you watch his statement yesterday? George II Nov 2021 #66

In most of these threads bashing Manchin I've asked "who do you suggest replace him?".... George II Nov 2021 #29

Why is that relevant qazplm135 Nov 2021 #39

Because MOST of the comments I've responded to in the last week or so claimed: George II Nov 2021 #48

Then you are pretty narrow qazplm135 Nov 2021 #52

Taking a thread off on a tangent is a well know rhetorical device. bluewater Nov 2021 #57

The contents of the thread's original post? You said people should leave Manchin alone. I agree.... George II Nov 2021 #74
