(3,541 posts)Why should Democrats bother to show up to vote for a Democrat who votes like a Republican? Hold your nose and vote for me anyway sounds like a bad campaign slogan.

(3,853 posts)I don't like Manchin BUT I'd rather have him in that WV seat voting with Dems 70% of the time rather than a Republican who will never vote with Dems. I won't waste any energy bitching and moaning about Manchin. I'm saving that energy to work on getting more Dem Senators elected in 2022.
