President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

The right is so much better at keeping its troops riled up. After Obergefell v. Hodges, the progressive movement patted itself on the back and buried itself in poptimism and tv shows. Myself included. The right stays angry for generations.

 

At this point I’d rather just have a Trumpist to write off in West Virginia than watch Joe Manchin edge himself on power.

 

This is just negotiation and in an earlier and better age all the point-counterpoint would be private. But Manchin clearly loves being the center of attention. It's the fatal weakness of an otherwise pretty accomplished pol. He's killing himself for '24. One thing the "moderate" Democrats never get and what costs them election after election is that 90 percent of the votes they get come from unmoderate Democrats.

They can't. I reckon HIPAA is toast.
