Politically compromised, coming from WV. He's representing a state that should be solid R. His only option to retain power is to be as moderate as possible. Similar but opposite to Susan Collins in that respect. He has some tenure, comes across well and has a history of not going along with the really crazy shit, which keeps him in his seat, at least for now. Pretty sure he voted to convict on both sham impeachments, which defies all possible logic, and eliminates any thought that he might actually be a decent guy. He's playing the game, no more or less.
Graham IMO is somewhat different. Fully corrupt, and/or compromised. Working to preserve the swamp and status quo. Staying close to Trump, but cannot be trusted whatsoever. Took no action to hold any of the perpetrators of the ACTUAL coup attempt to remove Trump accountable. Manchin can lose his seat easily (to an R) if he steps over any lines, so he is always walking the tightrope on D issues.
He definitely has said he won’t vote against the filibuster, so you are correct there. I’m sure the left consider him a DINO.. he’s honestly the kind of Democrat I respect and don’t hate.. he has his liberal ideals and differences of opinion, and I’m fine with that.. but he also sees where his party is heading and I truly believe he loves his state and his country and sees how nutty the Dems are. He’s logical. I don’t think he’s quite a DINO.. he’s a centrist for sure- which I’m sure works well for West Virginia because they are pretty damn red..
No. He only sucks less than other dims

Joe Manchin is to the Dems - what Light in the loafers Graham is to the republicans...ALL Talk No action!

we should be running under D and then voting like a R once we're in
I think it could be fun - just keep saying the most outrageous stuff you can think of and they still eat it up
DINO! Love it!
Amen! God IS merciful and NOTHING can remove us from His hand. We can boldly approach the Throne of Grace to receive mercy in our time of need.
Exactly what you should do? Never forget He loves you so much He gave his only Son to die for you. And Jesus willingly died for you.
Or new good times?
He's allowed to vote against dems only when they have enough votes to pass / veto what they want.
