I only see it as a big fuck you to the eventual democratic candidate. He splits the "progressive" side of the vote and gets the Republican elected.

Ughh, this is West Virginia. A democrat being elected is a miracle in a Trump +39 state.

Okay and if that 'Democrat' opposes the whole party agenda and literally prevents movement toward the Democrats party goals, then it doesn't really matter if he says hes a democrat or not? May as well run someone who will work with your party because Manchin was functionally a Republican.

He approved Biden's judges nominations. It's important.
