1. Hey, I'm not gonna kink-shame the... unique kinks of West Virginians

"Yeah Daddy Manchin, take away our child tax credits! Yeah, call us lazy! Cut social spending, do it daddy, do it harder!"

Whatever floats their boats, I guess.

[jimfields33]

2. Even the majority in the Democratic Party support him.

Every group does.

[demmiblue]

3. Ah, no. n/t

[jimfields33]

5. According to this 54 percent do

[demmiblue]

6. Nope. n/t

[Polybius]

23. Why can't you accept the facts?

He's loved in his uber Red state, whether we like it or not. He's got an almost zero chance of losing any future election.

[demmiblue]

26. What are you going on about?

My replies were to comments that were *not* factual.

[Polybius]

31. You replied "nope" when someone said "According to this 54 percent do"

The poll confused the poster. Instead of replying "nope" you should have explained that it was 54% who opposed Manchin.

[demmiblue]

38. Nope. n/t

[Polybius]

39. Yup n/t

[Celerity]

28. why cant you?

He's got an almost zero chance of losing any future election.

Wrong. IF Manchin runs in 2024, and IF his general election opponent is Justice, then it is pretty likely we can say bye bye Manchin.

Justice has outflanked Manchin on both the left and the right, and is a billionaire who can self fund enough adverts to obliterate Manchin, if need be.

[Polybius]

30. Old poll

I like this one better.

[Celerity]

32. its not an old poll, it is the OP poll, from a few days back, no clue what you are on about

[Polybius]

33. Gotcha, I see now

The poll was a bit confusing, as another poster was also confused.

[Celerity]

36. all good!! cheers

[Polybius]

37. I wish the OP would have just explained it rather than replying "nope"

This could have all been avoided.

[Celerity]

40. many here apparently do not know how to take a snapshot

I use

https://gyazo.com/

also, so many here use the link button when they try and post links or pics, instead of just pasting in the url

the link button is to insert a url onto text

like this

Gyazo

and finally, so so many do not trim the urls

so you get a bunch of ?dhdhfhf etc etc after the pic or tweet

like this




for tweets, you have to remove the ? and all after it



which then yields a clean tweet post

7. Oh crap. Never mind.

I’m sorry. I thought red was approved. Dummy me!!!!!

[ck4829]

4. If they want to be masochists, more power to 'em... or less?

[Kingofalldems]

29. FALSE

[Mad_Machine76]

41. ...............

[redstateblues]

8. TN could use a Democratic Senator like that instead of

a Republican like Marsha Blackburn

[empedocles]

12. +1

[Emile]

9. So you think he should change political parties?

[Amishman]

22. I see where you're going with that, we're very fortunate he hasn't switched parties

Because it is very clear he could do it if he wanted to, and probably come out ahead politically

[aeromanKC]

10. Great news!!

Hope he gets re-elected instead of the MAGAt R he runs against!!

[helpisontheway]

11. He knows how to represent his Republican constituents.Loyal to his real party. Nt

[dchill]

15. He is loyal to Joe Manchin.

The next king of West Virginia.

[Demsrule86]

18. Without Joe Manchin the ACA would be gone...how many times does the other WVA

Republican Senator vote with us? The answer is zero times.

[dchill]

20. Not mutually exclusive.

We have ACA. For now. Still no Voting Rights Act, though.

[Tomconroy]

13. Didn't Trump carry West Virginia by 40 points?

[jalan48]

14. Is this an example of the mythical bi-partisan Democrat we've been searching for?

[Hoyt]

16. WV is unique. At least on paper, Manchin is an improvement over the previous Democratic WV Senator.

Who would believe that in 2010, a Democratic Senator would be an honest to gawd grand wizzard of KKK, Cyclops, or something (Robert Byrd). Admittedly, he apoligized and cried on Senate floor, and generally supported good Democratic legisaltion.

[Polybius]

24. Yeah, he did it in the 40's and regretted it right away

I'll take Byrd over Manchin.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

17. joe manchin's approval rating has gone up a lot over the last year

Joe Manchin is the only Democrat who can win in West Virginia

Sen. Joe Manchin has faced the wrath of progressives nationwide during Joe Biden’s presidency for killing a range of domestic agenda items on voting rights, social spending programs and climate change. But at home in West Virginia, Morning Consult Political Intelligence data suggests the moderate Democrat knows exactly what he’s doing.

In surveys conducted Jan. 1-March 31, 57% of West Virginia voters approved of Manchin’s job performance, up from 40% during the first quarter of 2021 — the biggest increase of any senator over that time frame.

19. Well he can say he's bipartisan, lol

Just in the wrong way. Sad when you are a Democrat and have a higher rating with Repukes.

[Emile]

34. No kidding! He even argues against his own party almost daily. Blaming Joe

Biden for this inflation is his latest propaganda. Yeah, he's a big help to the party. Vomit!

[Midnight Writer]

21. Good. I hope he gets re-elected. We need the seat, even if we don't need a Manchin.

[BradAllison]

25. Not if we win Ohio, PA this November

Support Tim Ryan and John Fetterman....because I guarantee Joe Mansion and Kirsten Sinema will not. He loves the fact he is the defacto leader of the Democratic party.

[Demovictory9]

27. of course

[LiberalFighter]

35. Personally I think we should ignore Manchin and give him zero media time.
