The only accomplishments of his is sometimes voting with democrats and being saner than the MAGA that will replace him. He was better than what we’ll get when he’s gone but it seems like he’s just finally going full republican now. Hopefully dems win enough seats to make up for his maga replacement.
The only thing I really can say is Manchin is a better option than the Republican that would most likely replace him. Kind of like how it is preferable to be stabbed through the hand over being stabbed in the face.
They seem to just be dropping the talking points without the condescension. Haven't seen one "you do know that [flimsy excuse for Manchin's behavior], right?"
