I also just noticed that the commenter isn't saying "Vote out Manchin". They just say that the Dems should look to gain ground elsewhere so that they can ignore him. The implications of that are hilarious and pathetic; they cannot bring themselves to say that they should rid themselves of this jackass that is saying aid should be means tested and that minimum wage should barely go up, because what if a Republican won?? Unthinkable, for that Republican would oppose a minimum wage hike and M4A and checks for TOTALLY different reasons than Manchin opposes those same policies.

"We will never win an election in West Virginia again, because the state is notoriously hostile to expansion of health care, higher wages, and job security through the public sector" is a thing that would get you laughed out of the room back in the 1990s.
