When you and your family’s comfy personal future doesn’t depend on how much the massive numbers of poor people in your largely poor and struggling state suffer, or whether we remain a democracy, because you and your family are financially set, you might be @Sen_JoeManchin

When things fall apart there are always the Manchins & Sinemas who’ll let it all burn, believing they’ve built themselves high enough walls and stashed away enough cash & favors that it won’t matter when the wolves come, the soil is soured and the suffering spreads like wildfire.
It wouldn’t surprise me at all if neither of them runs for re-election in 2024. They’re showing all the signs of people who are cashing out, their constituents, party & country be damned. They’ve chosen sides with the super rich against the struggling people in their own states.
We have just one party left that believes in democracy and in helping the poor and struggling. But that doesn’t mean every member of that party cares about those things. In the end, parties morph and change. But right wing oligarchic ideology never does. It eats from both plates.
