I’ve REALLY got to read that again.

He is head of one of the most powerful committees, you babbling twit.

And it is well established that Bernie played a critical role in electing Trump in 2016.

abortionHow is being forced to give birth not an economic issue?Abortion was not an issue, historically, until church schools that implemented racist policies started to loss their tax status. That it is a stand-in for racism for white men it true.That does not mean it is not a critical economic issue for women. Please remove your head from your ass on this topic.Thank you.

PA won’t have an incumbent in ‘22. NC won’t have an incumbent in ‘22. WI does, but it’s Ron Johnson. FL does too, but a) it’s Rubio and b) the idiot governor’s COVID policies are rapidly killing off his last margin of victory. Joe’s days of relevance are less than 365 in number. And he’ll lose in ‘24, to a Republican, in any event.

Maybe Dems should seek out moderate Republicans like Sus...ha ha. Sorry, couldn't keep it together.

Not sure how your solution would have helped anything. Let's say Manchin goes GOP--McConnell kills everything, Senate investigates everything BIden does, and that's that. As for Biden, I don't see him as the reason this isn't passing, and not sure how any other president would succeed where he's not.

Bernie would have brought the Revolution ™ and everything would be fixed.

I can accept your proposition if you can explain how keeping S&M on the reservation would result in a materially different outcome. Every time they appease S&M by watering down to insignificance what these reactionaries can't kill outright, it's another self-inflicted wound on the Party, and the more the base is alienated from a spineless leadership that continually compromises for less and less, and still can't get S&M to vote with them. Don't be surprised if this leads to McAuliffe losing to Bumpkin tonight, and possibly dragging down the state House with him.

I'll put it this way, it's better to have S&M on the outside pissing in, than having them on the inside, pissing in.

In his mind he was commanding troops; he had the ability to interfere, and he believed this to constitute command.

And neither are his constituents. There are actually a number of states that are regressing: mostly the Old Confederacy (minus VA, although that can change tonight); but the Dakotas, ID, WY, OK, NE, IA, KY, MO, IN, AK.

The past 40 years has been like reliving the Antebellum period (1820-60) all over again; and it's the same set of issues: Uppity Blacks; uppity women; xenophobia; secularism; and socialism (something that scared the living crap out of Dixiecrats). We even have own, complimentary, crypto-fascist USSC, and do-nothing Congresses.

Good analogy, especially since it's clear the Man of La Manchin doesn't have a fuckin' clue how this stuff works.

No. Two thirds of Congressional Democrats, and the entire DNC apparatus (DSCC, DCCC, DGA) and at least 48 state committees would have formed a united front with the GOP to obstruct him. Because (something, something) SOCIALISM!!! The only form of "populism" allowed in the US is the reactionary, regressive, racist kind; progressive populism is the enemy of capitalism, which is why the DNC would rather have Manchin and Sinema than Bernie.
