Red State Democrats Can Do Better Than Joe Manchin

I love it when Dems go on a parity purity kick.  I hate it when the GOP does.

 

If the Dems lose Manchin they don't have a dream of replacing him with another Dem.  I'm a firm believer in having somebody on the team who isn't with you 100% if it means the alternative is having someone who is with you far less.

 

I hate the crazies in my party who don't understand power - who are just ideological dreamers.  And I LOVE the crazy Dems, like this author.

 

Are YOU a crazy party purity type?

Yeah I bet purity turns you on.

PURE WHITE REPUBLICAN POWER!

[Anastasis 23480]

Yes, we know that you are willing to sacrifice anything approaching principles of governing for political expediency.  That is why your party will soon be relegated to the garbage heap.

What an embarrassing, shameless, and pathetic OP.

I see Tahoe is still on his Kavanaugh victory lap.

Oh, GOP leadership has provided a plethora of lessons on the exertion of top-down power within the party over the last decade or so.  As much deserved shit as the DNC got for their handling of Sanders/HRC, the GOP leadership isn't much better.  The whole lot are corrupt as fuck.

I'm not concerned about attacks on Murkowski.  She is easily replaced.

I would be concerned about attacks on Collins.  She would be difficult to replace.  I also did not like attacks on Jim Jeffords, Olympia Snowe, Scott Brown, Arlen Specter, Dean Heller, and Jeff Flake to name a few.

 

If I were a Dem I'd be mortified at attacks on Manchin.  There isn't a dream he'd be replaced by another Dem.

 

But then if I were a Dem attacks on Doug Jones wouldn't bother me.  He's gone.

You’ve gotten really gross during your hiatus.

Yuck.

Party Purity is a huge issue.  Some people advocate it; some don't.  But I can see neither those who support it or those who don't are interested in discussing the topic.

 

I give up.  Again.

everybody claims to have a "big tent".  Nobody claims to have a "small tent". 

OP is full of shit.
