After this visit, I am even more convinced that defeating Vladimir Putin and ending his ruthless war against the Ukrainian people must remain our top priority,” said Senator Manchin
Considering this statement, I’m not sure where you got the Russian asset thing from. Is it just reflexive to call people Russian assets who want to destroy Putin?
Instead of what he says, look at all the fucked up shit he’s done over the past four years. Between Sinema and himself, who needs the Republican party to stonewall the Dems agenda?
And his press releases are written by the ministry of information in Moscow. 😎
I agree, actions do speak louder than words. Manchin voted yes to send $60b in lethal aid to Ukraine just this year. This ‘Russian asset’ sure is getting a lot of Russians killed. He doesn’t seem very good at being a Russian asset.
Manchin could have switched parties anytime during his 18 years in office. He was a godsend when he ran the first time, and he’s been a godsend ever since.
He’s a piece of shit human, but he was the only democratic candidate with a chance at victory in West Virginia. His has been 85% better than any Republican that would have held his seat otherwise and it is infantile to pretend otherwise.
Manchin is infuriating, but he is no Sinema. He holds his office in a red state getting redder, not a pink state turning purple. He sometimes represents the wrong headed desires of his constituents and I can’t hold that against him. Far more often he has voted for the best interests of the country.
I agree to an extent. If not him, his seat would’ve been Republican, and that would’ve been worse. I mostly didn’t hold that against him.
However I think he really let America down when he was most needed. If there was a time to risk it all, I thought that was it. On top of that, what makes WV happy isn’t going to fly in the rest of the states. He would have people staying home in droves.

Edit: Improved the link
Probably has more to do with fucking the Democratic Party and, by extension given Trump etm., America over than anything going on in Ukraine.

Oh absolutely. He would be a terrible VP pick and a prez run would flop. Not even WV likes him anymore.
