Let's send a message to Manchin. You need to get in line, sir.

[berni_mccoy]

Whether you believe in what Biden is doing, or not, you need to get in line.
If you don’t, you don’t deserve the billions upon billions that Democrats have set aside for West Virginia.
Your state takes more than any other state of the Union.

We know you Netflix and chilled with Mitch this summer. Your travel logs are clear.

We can live with the fact that you idolize Moscow Mitch as long as you stay faithful to the cause for which you represent. What’s that? You don’t give a damn?

That’s too bad. We’ll leave you behind, we’ll primary your ass. Don’t forget to close the door on your way out, lest it hit your ass.

If you keep on doing what you’re doing, you may as well switch

To the party that don’t give a fuck about the working class.

But remember, we got your number, alas.

[JohnSJ]

1. Brilliant. Tell him to switch parties so republicans can make judicial appointments, and perhaps

even a SC justice if he obliged with that recommendation

[berni_mccoy]

2. We both know that won't happen.

Or will it?

[JohnSJ]

6. I have to wonder if some implicitly wish that would happen so they could say "I told

you so”, like a self-fulfilled prophecy

[berni_mccoy]

8. Self fulfilling or otherwise, it's a done deal sir

[Mr.Bill]

15. If McConnell controls the Senate,

Biden will not be appointing any judges. We've seen this before.

[Me.]

3. I Don't Think So

I think part of the problem has been the CPC bombarding him with emails already and some are not very nice. I bet it has become an irritant

[berni_mccoy]

9. That's fuckng bullshiiii

If Manchin don’t have thick skin for that, he got no skin, brotha.

[Me.]

18. Know Your Audience

[Hoyt]

4. Quickest route to MAJORITY Leader McConnell.

[berni_mccoy]

10. I gots news fa yaw

He’s already in chaaaage

[Hoyt]

11. Nope, wouldn't have gotten BIF passed, have Committee chairs, etc.

[leftstreet]

5. Easier if Schumer would just strip him of his appointments

[berni_mccoy]

7. Yes

[tritsofme]

13. Not a credible threat when Manchin can strip Schumer of his majority.

[leftstreet]

14. What power would McConnell give Mansion?

that's right, none

Not saying I'd endorse a change in leadership. I just think Schumer should at least threaten him with it

[tritsofme]

16. McConnell would certainly let him keep his chairs and assignments.

Maybe more, if it meant he would get to keep all of Biden’s judicial nominees from getting floor votes.

[UTUSN]

12. K&R

[betsuni]

17. The message has been sent many, many, many, many times by different people.

Biden to Manchin about the rescue plan: "What the fuck are you doing, Joe? Come on, man."

Threats don't work.
