That’s about as simplistic as much of the rest of this thread. Manchin is as much a Democrat as DJT, speaking of ye with little political awareness. Since the Gop is trying to trash everything and your ilk thinks Dems are terrible for only passing part of Biden’s agenda, you will hand the country over to racist Evangelical Christian Nationalists and the fascists who are itching to control all the levers of power. They already message to the majority of listeners of US media, and you have seen nothing yet if you think delivering a f-u vote makes any sense at all. Time for you to reread German history about the rise of Hitler. The pattern of folks who did nothing because they thought things would never get that far out of hand is clear from Martin Niemoeller’s “First they came for the Socialists…and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist….”

The left folks who are screaming about the Dems are doing just that today.
