Via Aaron Rupar:

#Manchin on Fox Business indicates he's open to cutting #SocialSecurity for younger people.

We need a way bigger Dem margin in the Senate already. Sigh.

@GottaLaff Manchin won’t alienate any of his less than 300,000 democratic voters in WV, but he’ll gladly alienate the millions of democrats that support Biden.

@JJPeterson He won't alienate his donors.

@JJPeterson @GottaLaff most of us Democrats know that President Biden has our backs, we also know that Manchin has the backs of his investments and his wealthy Republican donors.

@GottaLaff This is exactly the right response. I get so mad when ppl blast him and say he needs to be primaried. I would take ten Manchins if I could have them in KY, SC, NE, KS, etc. There is safety in numbers with a bigger majority and each individual member would have less power. And maybe we can get a real Dem through in places like AZ.

@TVN Sadly, we need his votes, yes. He votes with Dems most of the time. His politics are way too conservative for me, and his donors are way too important to him. We need to make him irrelevant.
