(81,605 posts)Friends, Joe Manchin wont be happy with ANYTHING that actually attempts to help people. Excuse: it costs too much. Hell say anything and promise and reassure til the cows come home, but when its time to vote to make it happen, hell always pull up lame and whine that it costs too much.
I wish somebody would ask him: all this nice talk but no meaningful action: DO YOU really, actually want to help people in need? OR DONT YOU want to help people in need????? I feel like calling himPlatitude Man. Cuz thats where he is. Lots of nice/hopeful-sounding platitudes all the time, but when it comes to FUNDING that nice/hopeful stuff, he pulls up lame and is nowhere to be found, and when he IS found, hes not interested in helping anybody at all.
Hes a whole lotta NOTHING. I think we shouldnt bother wasting another nanosecond on him. What we should be going is reducing his power platform in the Senate by adding more Democrats. Then he and the EQUALLY-worthless Sinema wouldnt matter so much anymore.
Im frankly surprised he still wants to be considered a Democrat. Im surprised he hasnt switched parties.
