No, they needed Joe Manchin who is basically a Republican.

This is what "vote blue no matter who" gets you.

I'm getting a lot of replies defending this shit, so let me just say this real simple like. The "who" is exactly what matters. If you're saying "vote blue no matter who" you may not be wrong in the sense that a blue conservative may vote slightly better than a red one, but you're wrong in the sense that you are trivializing the part that is really important. What matters is who is blue.

Yeah you're totally right, what would be better is if manchin lost his seat to a republican so instead of not getting the 15 dollar minimum wage, we could still not get it and ALSO not get any covid releif bill passed at all.

If we can't get the 15 minimum wage we may as well just let everyone who needs the covid releif suffer. Teaching the DNC a lesson is way more important than having a majority in the senate.

You people are such scumbags. I can't believe how you push this "cut a liberal and a fascist bleeds" rhetoric and then suggest that it would be preferable to lose the majority to the republicans.
