    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.

          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.
