As Latvian-America I really want to know are Americans so naive to think for one minute. A single Democratic Party Aperick Joe Manchin can single-handedly hold up critical legislation on his own. Without Party Officials giving him permission to do so. Continue.
West Virginia activists can’t stop big energy dollars. Until Congress wakes up and rescinds Citizen’s United these politicians and their lobbyists will continue to suck America dry.
Great! ... It may take more than one election cycle, but you have to start somewhere ... When the fossil fuel industry collapses ... someone needs to be there with new clean energy jobs and the ability to train older workers in these new fields.
Stephen Smith that was the progressive gubernatorial candidate should run against Joe. There is also an awesome climate activist named Eric Engle from Parkersburg, WV I think would be good also.
Spending against Manchin is money wasted. Best case he'll have to make new empty promises, worse case is a blue seat flipped red. Make him irrelevant by electing more progressives from states who will vote for progressives!
If you think that's a good idea, you're insane, Joe is as left as you're going to get in that state, feel lucky that you have him, there's no way in hell you'd ever get a progressive in that state.
