Has Anyone Asked Manchin If He Supports The End To Democracy?.....

If not - somebody should ask him. I'd be interested in how he answers that.

If Manchin doesn't support filibuster reform or the voting rights legislation - then in my mind he supports ending democracy - because he's opening the door for the Repugs to actually 'steal the elections' of 2022 and 2024.

If he's not with us - then he's against us.

In my mind his recalcitrance borders on 'treason'.

Ask him how he expects to go down in history if he single-handedly chooses to undermine democracy in order to save an anti-democratic tool often used by southern racists to block civil rights legislation.

Would he like to be remembered in the history books as the new naive Neville Chamberlain who infamously opened the door to a new age of fascist tyranny?
