The solution to Joe Manchin being terrible is not primarying Joe Manchin. It's electing more Democratic senators from other states. We don't have a ton of battleground to work with, but we have enough to make a difference. Vote in 2022.
I will defend Joe Manchin keeping his WV seat in the same way I will defend chemotherapy. It is a horrible treatment that causes untold suffering, but is still in many cases better than dying from cancer. That said, we need to be looking for better cures.
People are always like "We can do better than Manchin." No, we can't. I have no idea how Manchin does it. Maybe he licked a unicorn once or had mind-blowing sex w/ a 4-leaf-clover. I dunno. But somehow he wins in a state where Republicans regularly get 70% of the vote. 
The actual way to do better than Manchin is to elect Dems from states like WI & PA to improve our margins. We're not getting anyone better out of WV. In the meantime, Manchin's amoral warm body w/ a "D" next to it is the only thing between us & "Senate Majority Leader McConnell"
