It would have been the easiest dunk of his life to go to Manchin or sinema’s districts and hold a rally for legislations that they are blocking and would have garnered support from younger people because he is actually trying and applying pressure. Not just making a statement and saying “owell I tried”.

You want Biden to go into ruby red districts where a dem-in-name-only got into power by the skin of their teeth, and campaign for Democratic policies, and you think those people will welcome him? You think it will be easy??

You're in a bubble, dude. There's no silent majority of progressives out there. Just because all of your friends are doesn't mean the whole nation is.

Manchin got elected because he blocked Dem policies. Not in spite of it.

Then fuck Manchin. If you don’t want to play ball the dems should do everything in their power to make you toe the line. Run as a republican if you want to vote against dem policies.

He DID play ball. That's why we keep him.

Manchin is better than a Republican because we can work with him sometimes. You don't want him to be able to hold up bills? Don't give us a bare bones Senate majority. Get more Dems in Congress.

Dems have a majority in the Senate but we need to “VoTe HaRder”. Nah you neolibs will come up with every excuse to be goo lite and cry and piss your pants when people don’t want your shitty crumbs anymore.

51-50 is enough to give Manchin and Sinema power.

55-45 would negate Manchin and Sinema.

60-40 would negate the GOP.

So, yes. Fucking vote harder. It matters.
