Manchin needs to vote with the party and not hold up the democrats agenda.
I looked up the total number of voters in West Virginia that voted in the general = 781,366 (both sides).
Total number of votes in the nation for Biden
81,285,571
So, if Manchin decides ALL of the democrats agenda, that means his less than 1% representation will have as much power as a dictator.
NO! Sen. Manchin, the math does not support your grandstanding.

(45,120 posts)but not for anywhere else. Best thing to do is replace him and let him be what WV wants and the rest of us in other states can move on to better things.

It's just stupid to ignore the politics of west virginia itself.

(621 posts)Your choice is Manchin or a republican Senator. No if ands or buts. I have seen threads about come up with a primary candidate, there is no democrat in WV that can win against him.Cut this stupid shit out now. As much as I as a West Virginia voter dislike some of the stances that Manchin takes, I know that the reality is another Republican Senator. Some people need to shut the f**k up and live with what we have.
