What is this horseshit? I get leaving the Democratic party and registering as independent but fucking praising Trump all of a sudden? Manchin was a guy that wasn't great but didn't always do the wrong thing but damn he's lost his mind.

#Biden waited and waited and waited some more for #Manchin and #Sinema clown car to quickly do things that had to be done.
#Trump rammed 48 appointees in one fell swoop using the nuclear option that #Democrats refused to use.
The largest swing towards Republicans, among the races listed here, was in West Virginia, where Republicans performed 44.3% better than they did in 2018.
Incumbent Joe Manchin, who was elected in 2018 as a Democrat, chose not to run for reelection.
Republican Jim Justice ran for the West Virginia Senate seat in 2024, while he was the state's sitting governor.
Justice won by a margin of 41%, in a landslide victory.

All #JoeManchin and #KyrstenSinema should ever be known for:
#Manchin and his love of *any* press gaggle
#Sinema and her Senate-floor curtsy
"Senate Democrats were livid after Sens. Kyrsten #Sinema (I-Ariz.) and Joe #Manchin (I-W.Va.), two longtime members of their caucus, voted Wednesday to block President Biden’s nominee, Lauren McFerran, to serve another five-year term on the National Labor Relations Board.
"But both Sinema and Manchin came back to sink the nominee.'” #USPolitics

I wonder what #DonaldTrump offered #JoeManchin & #KyrstenSinema to screw the #Democrats over in the Senate‽
This is an under reported but major victory for #Republicans.

#wv #frontier #verizon #manchin This is what happens when a company ( #frontier ) spends more money lobbying than maintaining equipment; when those elected ( #manchin #babydog ) and their minions prioritize their pocketbooks over the well-being of those who elected them.
Depriving West Virginians of decent access to internet means we only have access to #foxnews and #sinclair -- in case anyone is wondering why we vote so red.
When we’ve reached the point that’s even too far for Joe #Manchin…

I want to take a second & add to all the #HotTake posts for a special "fuck you" to #JoeManchin for his inane, backward, evil (and i mean that) "contribution" to the discussion about why #Democrats performed so poorly. If you missed his interview on @npr he basically said that Democrats lost working people because our various welfare is too generous.
That's right. #CoalBaron #Manchin thinks that we need to kick more moms off welfare and make more kids hungry to appeal to the voters we lost.
