Why we lose when we should win: y’all are talking about throwing Joe Manchin out of the party, when doing so would cost us our shot at the Senate majority. Manchin sucks, but he votes with us most of the time. We need him. Period. Do you want to win, or do you just want to whine?
Again, Manchin is lame. But he’s literally never once cast a *deciding* vote against the Democrats. He makes a show of voting with the republicans when he’s not going to be the deciding vote anyway. It’s for show, since he’s from a red state. Learn how politics works, please.
And if Manchin ever does lose his seat, West Virginia will replace him with a far right Republican who votes against us 100% of the time. Some of you say you’d rather have that than a mediocre Democrat. But that’s fucking deranged. Some of you dummies are addicted to losing.
I’m on the far left. Joe Manchin is my worst idea of a Democrat. I’m honestly getting tired of having to defend his lame ass, just because so many of you on the far left have so little knowledge or interest in how politics and winning work. How we ever win anything is beyond me.
