I am sure if he came out and endorsed Biden now he would most likely not stand a chance if he ran another term for Senate

Saying he is considering running for president is a stall tactic so he can say he won’t endorse anyone yet. He knows he wouldn’t win a presidential atte

It is so obvious what is happening, and of course the reactionary media want to stir things up major seem the Democrats are in disarray, when it is bullshit, because Manchin is a special case because of where he is from, and not representative of anything else.

and of course it is so predictable how many of us react. This is a non-event with Manchin only playing for the people in WV

What we need to focus on is getting a massive turnout in 2024, not 60%, but 75% or greater

Sounds like Manchin is going to run for Senate ? OnDoutside Mar 2023 #16

Biden hasn't declared yet Raine Mar 2023 #17

That's rather decietful, this is what she said, Autumn Mar 2023 #27

How interesting that anyone sees Josh Gottheimer as the "true archvillain of the Biden presidency". lapucelle Mar 2023 #32

Gottheimer was not a main point of my reply, BUT some of the Problem Solvers (Gottheimer Celerity Mar 2023 #43

You were very selective about it. Fuck that Dana Bash, nothing but shit stirring POS.nt Autumn Mar 2023 #37

I quoted the headline, just like the OP. lapucelle Mar 2023 #40

It's would be rather stupid to endorse someone who hasn't announced they are running. Better to Autumn Mar 2023 #51

That AOC article was very late spring 2022, long before even the 2022 midterms, and I recall Celerity Mar 2023 #46
