... in my post where I said he's not going to advance the VR bills in a meaningful way.

If this was to modify filibuster so they have to stand and debate and still have to get 60 votes in the end that means nothing, it doesn't get the bill on Biden's desk.

I haven't read where Manchin voted for that ... I pointed this out in my post to you

Please, I'm into the 70ks posting here ... I don't fall for useless ego BS ... I've got my head knocked too much for that.

Hit me up when Manchin is part of the solution on the voter rights issue, so far he hasn't been ... freakin name dropping voting rights attorneys as if they're the solution to the GQP BS.

give me a break
