“Part of me, at this point, would rather Joe Manchin just come out and say ‘I’m a Republican,’ rather than pretend to be a Democrat who has compassion for poor people while at the same time smearing them as ‘entitled’ for wanting basic economic rights.” - @mehdirhasan

And lose the Senate? That makes no sense. He isn't necessarily a Republican anyway, just bought.
He totally forgets his constituents get tons of Black Lung Disease & welfare money. After big coal used the miners up, they abandoned them. Once coal companies figured out how to stripmine coal, the miners no longer mattered. Leaving the rest of us to pickup the tab.
Manchin knows the truth this will destroy us, how only 9% goes towards infrastructure. We will be charged vehicle mile taxes, if you drive 222 miles per week you will be paying $920 fees per year. About the animal agriculture tax 2,600 per head of cattle 500 for swine, no meat.
