I do have faith in Biden and Schumer (my senator), but I don't Manchin "gets" the Republican agenda

(205,320 posts)2. Joe Manchin?
You know I'm listening to Mary Trump's new book and she noted the fact that Joe Manchin was the lone Democrat to vote to confirm Jeff Sessions. There really is little hope for him after that.
Hes definitely our cross to bear, but hell come around on the reconciliation bill, though Biden and Schumer really need to have a talk with him about a filibuster carve out for a couple of crucial bills like voting rights and abortion protection.

It doesn't have to make sense or be of help for Americans and the country, they will oppose absolutely anything that Biden and the Democrats support.
