37. Attacking Manchin serves no purpose unless you want him to change parties

Tue Apr 12, 2022, 02:32 AM

Manchin is the only Democrat who could win in West Virginia and I am glad that he is voting for judges and with Biden. Without Manchin, MVP Harris would not be breaking ties in the Senate.

Do you really want Manchin to change parties? What purpose does your complaints serve in the real world? Why would Manchin care about your complaints? I am really curious.
