    Can’t use the s word in West Virginia. Best you’re gonna get is a corporate stooge democrat like Manchin.

    This is the complete misunderstanding of American politics that the DNC and DCCC have been trying to convince us of since 2008, in-spite of our lying eyes.

        Because he promised them he’d bring back coal so they can die from black lung like daddy and Pop-Pop did!

          So our socialist democrat would make the same promise and do their best to stymie any climate change legislation? Or has trump decided coal is a bad idea?

            You back labor unions and push for them to get into green energy jobs constructing the parts for infrastructure we need as we faze out coal, oil, and gas. There is big money to be made and no chance for black lung.

              Whew, Dems just gotta do the small task of convincing an electorate the backbone of their ENTIRE ECONOMY for generations is dead and needs to be replaced, while the other side says they’ll back it until the planet is dust.

              Seems a simple enough solve if we throw enough buzzwords at it! Please move to WV and run on it, Dems are losing hard without that strat

              In other words, you push for pretty much exactly Biden’s plan… But hey, he only lost by 40 points.

                Manchin’s leaving because moving to the right has failed.

                The only thing any centrist knows how to do has failed. Centrists just admitted they can’t win in West Virginia. So unless you finally have a plan other than the failed “move to the right” plan, let a better candidate give it a shot.

                The rightmost Democrat can’t win, and your party can’t move to the right anymore.

                  Oh, you are just adorable! The only reason you can think of that a multimillionaire doesn’t want to be hassled by protestors for, what is effectively charity wages, is that they wouldn’t win?

                  That’s cute.
