Re: The States: Doing Their Own Thing...
So the Republicans are getting rid of social programs that help the vulnerable just like Bill Clinton did? Manchin would do what exactly, bring some of those programs back with means testing or some other compromise that does nothing to move the needle? Maaaaaybe not gut those programs further until the incompetent dems try to forge a deal with Republicans? If we're lucky we might even get a $10 minimum wage!
I mean yeah, Manchin would be the lesser of two evils in this scenario and like I said I'd obviously vote for him since it'd mean no more Trump. But at some point you need a competent Dem party that aggressively pushes us back in the other direction rather than just implementing some half measure while trying to compromise with lunatics who have no interest in helping anyone other than the Koch brothers/Mercers. Just shouting lesser of two evils to horribly disenfranchised potential voters probably isn't a viable strategy.
