h3doublehockeysticks , to Politics in Child poverty in the United States just more than doubled. You can thank Joe Manchin.

but he is no Republican

What functional difference is there between Joe Manchin and a republican

Guy dude pal it was already pointed out to you that he was the cause/excuse for the bill being watered down AND that the bil did not need his vote. Like it wasn’t even close to needing his vote. It passed the senate with double digit votes.

You were also already given those examples of what the party could do.

You’re doing a little thing called lying, and it’s not very nice.

Again, if Joe Manchin is functionally a republican why does it matter if he loses? And Joe Manchin is unpopular in his own state, he’s not a person who is uniquely equipped to hold the state. Like you’re just gaslighting yourself into supporting a Republican.

All my other points you ignored

Because they’re nonsense dude. The senate majority only matters if the party in the senate actually votes as a unit and they don’t.

including the $55 billion dollars infrastructure plan

Not only would it have passed without his vote, he was the reason/excuse for the infrastructure bill to be watered down as much as it was.

He contributes NOTHING to the Democratic party except an excuse to not fulfill their party platform.

You like the latest scotus judge? Senate.

Joe Manchin has openly said he will not vote for a Biden nominated SCOTUS candidate. What’s left? What does he contribute to the Democratic party?

Withdraw any party support from them, kick them from the party, and fund their opposition. The Democratic party can absolutely do this when they need to try and stamp out anyone to the left of the blue dogs.

West Virginia is extremely conservative and risking a seat can be quite dangerous when you are trying to govern against literal fascists

Before Shelley Morito got elected in 2015, the last time West Virginia had a republican senator was during the eisenhower administration. And if Manchin votes as a republican anyway why does it matter? Like he’s straight up come out and said he won’t vote for a Joe Biden pick for the supreme court.

If Joe Biden can be given credit for the actions of legislators, surely he must also take the blame. Biden’s total inability to enforce any kind of party discipline is on him and the rest of the Democratic leadership.

Actually you only need 50 senators and then you just put in 50 judges. And oh hey what’s this, the DC statehood bill passed the house?

Actually doing something would be easy. But they don’t actually want to.
