Good day all. The progressive Liberal Democratic Communazis are furious that their plans to turn the United States into a Marxist, totalitarian hellhole have been sidelined by 2 Senators. On of these two is Joe Manchin, a Democrat from West Virginia. Now the Progressives have decided that since Manchin won’t help them destroy the United States, he needs to be replaced by a Communist.
There is just one small problem with this “Cunning Plan.” West Virginia is a deep red state. The only reason Manchin is still in office is that he occasionally listens to his constituents. If the Progressives were to successfully primary him out of office, (He is not due for reelection until 2024), he would be replaced by one of those, to the Progressives, horrible, totally bad, completely not good right wing Ultra MAGA Deplorable Bitter Clingers. This isn’t slowing the morons down a bit. Here are the details from Fox News:
Progressives are eager to make moderate Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., pay a political price for sidelining President Biden’s climate change and tax agenda. Democratic operatives and activists say Manchin’s refusal to obey the party line warrants a primary challenge when the senator runs for re-election in 2024.
“This man has been a thorn in the side of not only the White House, but the American people as well,” said Nina Turner, who served as national co-chair of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign.
“West Virginia is one of the poorest states in the nation, yet he stands in the way of legislation that would help working people. He should be primaried for that alone.”
Oh I hope the Democrats are that stupid. First, I don’t trust Manchin as far as I can throw him. He will turn on his constituents at the drop of a hat if it helps him. Second, the only reason he’s still in office is that he’s a great con man and the people of West Virginia think he will actually stand up for them. If he gets primaried, and loses to a typical Progressive Democrat, the seat will flip to the Republicans for a generation.
Democrats have been wary of taking Manchin on publicly in the past for fear of upending the delicate balance of the 50-50 Senate. Within the chamber, Democrats only hold power because of the tie-breaking vote of Vice President Kamala Harris.
And it looks like that 50-50 Senate will become at least a 55-45 Republican Senate in 2023.
That reality has given Manchin extraordinary influence over the budget reconciliation process. A party-line mechanism for passing some tax and spending measures, reconciliation is key for any legislation that cannot overcome the Senate’s 60-vote filibuster threshold.
Manchin and Krysten Sinema, who is probably going to lose her election this year, have actually saved the Democrats from themselves. The damage they’ve already done is going to take years to correct. If they had shoved through everything they wanted, the odds are we would be in an economic collapse and a full blown civil war.
Democrats initially hoped to use reconciliation to pass an ambitious $1.75 trillion package of tax hikes, climate change subsidies and new social welfare spending, dubbed Build Back Better. Manchin threw a wrench into that plan last year by refusing to support the bill over concerns it would exacerbate inflation.
And he was right of course. The current disaster from the last “Stimulus” package was one of the reasons we’re now seeing almost 10% inflation. If they had managed to get the “Build Back Broke” bill through, we would be in far worse shape then we are now.
Earlier this month, Manchin undercut a small version of the reconciliation deal by urging Democrats to hold off on including tax hikes or climate change until the next round of inflation numbers.
“I said, ‘Can we just wait until the inflation figures come out [for] July, until we know if the Federal Reserve will hike interest rates?’” Manchin told West Virginia MetroNews. “Then make the decision on what we can do and how much we can do.”
The Democrats love taxing the Middle Class while claiming they are “Taxing the Rich.” They are also working hard to impose the first state mandated religion in the United States, the Church of Global Warming and Climate Change.
More than anything else, however, the senator has frustrated efforts to pass Biden’s agenda via reconciliation. That has many Democrats ready to purge Manchin from their ranks.
“While we need to support all types of diversity in our party, when someone is acting as a de facto agent of the Republican caucus and single-handily stopping good policy that would help all Americans, we have a moral obligation to do something,” said Colin Strother, a Democratic political strategist who has advised moderates. “Joe Manchin is doing what Mitch McConnell cannot do for himself.”
Go ahead, do it! I double dare you to throw Manchin out of the Party.
Many on the left note that Manchin appears to be particularly vulnerable ahead of 2024. Although polls show him with a strong approval rating in West Virginia, most of it comes from Republicans.
Since most of the voters are Republicans, that makes sense.
“Democrats are not pleased with him,” said Turner. “He can be challenged and beaten in a primary. If he wants to try and rely on Republicans to re-elect him, then good luck.”
Even if a primary challenge fails, progressives say it will still force Manchin to take his party’s base more seriously.
Actually, no it won’t. Unlike the progressives, Manchin isn’t suicidal. The Progressives goal is the end of the Constitutional Republic and the institution of rule by the socialist elites. To say that most of the people in this country do not support that idea, and also have most of the guns, is something Manchin understands quite well. As it is, a good Republican candidate and he’s probably toast in 2024.
Republicans welcome such efforts. They say that, given West Virginia’s strong embrace of Republicans, Manchin is likely the only Democrat who could win a U.S. Senate there in the near future.
“If they want to nominate someone far-left and ensure that seat goes red in two years, we’re all for that,” said Greg Thomas, a GOP strategist based in the state.
Part of the reason the state has gone all in on the Republicans and President Trump is that the Democrats, starting with Der Fubar, Barack Obama, did everything they could to completely destroy the state economy. Coal is King in West Virginia and will be until something much better comes along. Progressive only want windmills and solar panels, and they get those from their masters in China.
Progressives are not phased by the notion, saying that Manchin already votes like a Republican anyway.
“If he’s a Democrat, then we’re in trouble,” said Turner. “We might as well take the risk.”
As Clint Eastwood once said, “Go Ahead, Make my day.” As it is, Manchin does betray his constituents just enough for the Democrats to have some say in things. If he loses to a Republican, well, That will be it for West Virginia as far as the Progressive Liberal Democrats Communazi Party is concerned. It will be decades for it to switch back, and as things stand, the Democrats are only going harder and further to the left.
***UPDATE***
And it looks like Manchin is going to once again cave in and screw over his constituents and the American people. Can you believe that some in the GOP wanted him to switch sides? The last think the GOP needs is another TransRepublican RINO.
