Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

With all due respect, Manchin can go choke on a bag of dicks.

WV native here. He and his family (see his daughter's involvement in EpiPen pricing) have enriched themselves by swindling those who have less than themselves. He's a Republican dressed up as a Democrat so he could run in WV.

That loser

"How can I use this to try to steal some glory from a woman of color"

What a douchebag

Kamala Harris is leagues ahead of him.

[–] TechNerdWizard42@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

He can F right off. He made his bed, got his 15 minutes of fame, and now can go lie in the bed and hopefully die.

The corporate democrats are changing the goal posts once again from “Step down Joe Biden!” to “Bah we want our guy instead” they will keep dividing the democrat party for nothing.

[–] Starbuck@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Im all for bashing on corpo democrats, but it looks like the party is pretty solidly aligned behind Kamala. Joe endorsed her and everyone seems to support that. Who besides Manchin is supporting him? I think he’s just trying to stay relevant.

[–] aubeynarf@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 3 months ago

“the democrat party”?

[–] MagicShel@programming.dev -3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

That's the wrong pick for that idea. They should pick someone remotely palatable.

This guy is a chaos agent.

[–] VanillaBean@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Another man who is too damn old. Didn't he pay attention? Fat chance.

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world -5 points 3 months ago

Good. Do it. Whoever has the best chance at beating Trump. Manchin generally supports Democratic initiatives, he's just too chicken-shit to commit as much resources to it. But moderates like him.

And if she wins the nomination, he better support her and the party. That's the deal.
