So here is Manchin’s logic: Don’t default on national debt, but then as a nation default on voting rights, health care, living wages, etc. His logic is so wrapped in his love of money and commitment to his corporate and financial interests.

Manchin had one moment in history to scheme & scam as much as he could for his donors & for himself, and in some sick distorted way, he seems to enjoy being the senator from the poor & small state who looks out only for himself and not for the people he is supposed to represent.

This is why we can’t let up, and if Manchin is successful in doing this, we must organize to add at least two Democrats to the Senate & hold the majority in the House. This can be done if Dems talk to & seek to love the 65 million poor & low-wealth eligible voters in this nation.

The data says this demographic, when they vote, tend to vote progressive, but often don’t vote because the old political formulas dismiss them and choose not to even call their names or talk about their poverty.

None of this has to be. Even in the South there are votes among poor & low-income Americans that have not been sought for, fought for, or organized for!

Read this & stop believing states are “red” or “blue,” many states are simply unorganized:
