    Said Manchin: “Shame on her. She knows the filibuster is the Holy Grail of democracy. It’s the only thing that keeps us talking and working together. If she gets rid of that, then this would be the House on steroids.”

    Eat shit, Manchin. People’s lives are at stake.

      Manchin’s not even on the ballot in 2024. He’s ditched the party to become an independent, while his seat is polling 64/28 Republican favoring the outgoing governor Jim Justice to a small town mayor from Wheeling named Glenn Elliott.

      Sinema, the other walking “we can’t because” excuse by the Dems, quit to dedicate herself fully to drinking with other lobbyists in wine caves. Arizona is polling significantly better for Dems (49/43 or thereabouts) now that the GOP is running an outspoken fascist Kari Lake in a majority-minority state.

      But the Senate map still favors the GOP by one seat. Dems need to defend Montana and Ohio to hold an even 50 seats. Otherwise, they’ll have to scrounge a pickup from seething gasp Texas or Florida. So, it could very well not be an issue in 2024. The GOP could retake the Senate and spend the next two years holding the national economy at gunpoint with a government shutdown.

        Yo, Missourian here ready to get traitor Josh Hawley replaced. I don’t care what the polls say, I’m showing up no matter what.

      Shame on Manchin. He’s power hungry and knows he and sinema get all the power this way.
