Manchin and Sinema Must Face 'Consequences' for Stalling Voting Rights, Democratic Rep Says

[calimary]

17. I donated when she ran for the Senate. Won't be making that mistake again.

As far as Manchin goes - the best thing to do, seems to me, is to make him less relevant. Do your utmost to help elect more Democrats to the Senate. Above all else.

Well, that and down-balloters too. Anywhere you see a “D” by a candidate’s name.

Manchin is feeling like a king because he’s such a painfully pivotal vote - when the Senate is evenly split and EVERY single blasted vote counts and there’s NO margin for error.

So we need to take his power position away. We need to get enough “D’s” in there so that if Manchin threatens to make trouble, nobody will care, he won get anywhere near the press coverage he’s gotten lately (cuz it’ll be old news - “oh look, Manchin’s making threats again, Manchin’s being contrary again - yawn - what else is new?”) and it won’t make a damn bit of difference.

It’ll be “oh, him again…” (yawn)
