Oh, seriously, fuck Manchin and his Republican-lite ass. People in his own fucking state need all the help they can get. They’re one of the poorest states in the goddamned country and he’s basically going “Nah, I don’t think you need this.”

He’s just as bad as McConnell. He’s a fucking Republican in sheep’s clothing. And you know what’s really fucked up? If he does run for Governor, people will vote for him because “Well, even though we needed help, Manchin held that up in the Senate because he’s fiscally conservative just like a Republican, and that proves he cares about us! He’s got my vote!!!!”

Sorry, I’m sick of this shit. With Democrats like Manchin, it’s not “if” the GOP gets the permanent super majority, it’s “when”.

And the guy Manchin beat in 2018—Patrick Morrisey:

opposes abortion

led a multi-state coalition of attorneys general in defending the right of states to prohibit sanctuary cities

has A+ ratings from the National Rifle Association

threatened the Trump administration that they would litigate if the president did not terminate the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)

criticized Manchin for supporting the “Keep Families Together Act”

joined Paxton’s lawsuit seeking to overturn the results of the presidential election by challenging election processes in four states where Trump lost

Be careful what you wish for.
