He's a fucking idiot.

[NynJa]

Archi or Manchin?

[NynJa]

Yes.

[archibaldcrane]

he literally just bought a peloton so....

Hey

My $450/week unemployment is paying for that

[archibaldcrane]

Re: Manchin, he has the same beliefs as most conservatives - the poor are suspect, looking to scam any opportunity, need to be coerced into productivity by fear of destitution.

Despite plenty of evidence about "what happens when poor people are given money" this belief persists, because it's a way of organizing the world, not intended to be an accurate reflection of reality.

The wonderful people of West Virginia probably are using those things for drugs and hunting trips at a significantly higher rate than the rest of the country, but even that doesn't excuse the stance that children should starve or be homeless when we have the power to do something about it.

[Day]

probably couldve lost more weight with cocaine and hunting trips than a peloton now that i think about it

Alternately it's a way of organizing priorities. Abuse will always happen. Given that, many think preventing abuse comes before doing good; the goal is to minimize the leeches, even at the cost of many who legitimately need.

[kuronosan]

The needs of the 0.1% outweigh the needs of the 99.9%.

[Gredival]

We shouldn't tax the rich to help people like me because there is a remote possibility one day I might get taxed to help people who were like me.

[Tymon]

I was trying to skim the last page and half of it is full of way too many comprehensive, well presented replies with lots of commentary

Y'all need to do better with the shitposting

[Xno Kappa]

And the federal government will continue to offer employees a 12K+ bonus along with relocation fees to take a position in WV. Manchin clearly thinking 32 steps ahead.

The problem with West Virginia, is that it's full of West Virginians.

Hey now, one of the best lays I've had was a girl from West Virginia.

Nobody wants to have the talk about how a Democrat that would fully fall in line could never win in West Virginia.

I think most just want a Democrat that doesn't need to "Fall inline", and one that has the same priorities. I don't know about WV to say if either could win that seat anyways.

From my understanding, WV is Purple, leaning red. Along with it's ties to the Coal Industry, getting anyone more liberal in there would be a very difficult process.

Lol it's ruby red, no purple at all. Trump's widest margin of victory in any state.

The fact that Manchin has his seat there is an oddity of the fact they had two abnormal senators before him: Rockefeller and Byrd.
