    For those in the EU like me that don't know who Joe Manchin is, see here. Manchin has called himself a "moderate conservative Democrat" and is often cited as one of the most conservative Democrats in the Senate".

    Why that ghoul is allowed to stay in a party that presents itself as being the left one is beyond me. Also, his wonderful take on climate change:

    He "does not deny the existence of man-made climate change," wrote the Los Angeles Times, but "is reluctant to curtail it." [...] In June 2017, Manchin supported President Trump's withdrawal from the Paris climate accord, saying he supported "a cleaner energy future" but that the Paris deal failed to strike "a balance between our environment and the economy."

    Literally the "yes the planet got destroyed" meme.

      Honestly, he comes off as more cowardly then that. The cartoon character had clear convictions, vis a vi: capital over all else. Manchin is too much of a sniveling bastard to own that.
