Viking_Hippie,

I can’t see any Dems voting for the guy who fucked Biden’s agenda

Really? Because all of the people I’ve ever seen defending him were Democrats claiming that he was the least awful senator West Virginia would ever vote for.

Hell, even Biden himself gave Manchin the pen used to sign what was left of one of the bills after he’d hollowed out the carcass!

Viking_Hippie,

Yeah, because it’s all just a binary were people vote by party only!

West Virginia is an extremely poor state, has the worst health of any state, is generally pretty pro-union and loves a political dynasty.

Joe Manchin is the nephew of a prominent WV politician, in favor of the ACA and pretty good at pretending to care about miners. THAT’S why he kept winning in a supposedly deep red state.

If we find a good progressive candidate who ACTUALLY cares about poor people and labor rights, is in favor of Medicare for All, and has a relative who used to be State Treasurer or something, that candidate would be able to win in West Virginia WITHOUT being a corrupt conservative ass.

Viking_Hippie,

Which would be fair. The shade for running on being the least bad option twice, not the downvotes.

Viking_Hippie,

Time for the Frank Wilhoit quote:

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition … There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

Viking_Hippie,

I know full well why it matters to me: because it’s stupid and I’m expected to go along with it as if it wasn’t.

Since when is that not enough reason to be annoyed by something?

Viking_Hippie,

Yeah, being annoyed by one stupid small thing doesn’t mean being annoyed by ALL stupid small things.

Humans tend to like and dislike specific things for their own reasons and none.

I’ve got news for you: trying to police what people are allowed to be annoyed about doesn’t do anything except give them one more thing to be annoyed about, namely a condescending asshole trying to cluelessly “educate” them.

Maybe try to find something nice to do with your time instead.
