Description: In primary battles across the country, Democrats are painting their opponents as carbon copies of Joe Manchin. That Manchin has become the villain for Democratic candidates is not surprising, and it is actually a good message that more Democrats need to adopt. If we want to both enact real, progressive change in this country AND fight back against GOP oppression, we have to get the Manchins out of politics for good. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

In primary races across the country, democratic candidates are using Joe Manchin as their primary villain. And I mean that literally he is the villain of the primaries and democratic challengers are using this association with Joe mansion to go after their more centrist and moderate cist opponents. And the opponents of course happen to be sitting members of Congress in most instances. And what they're doing is they're telling the public look at what is happening in DC, not just over the last year, but literally right now this week, right now, look what's happening. We can't codify Roe into law because of people like Joe mansion, he won't get rid of the filibuster, even if he did, he probably wouldn't agree to codify Wade. Uh, Roe V. Wade, which he's pretty much already said he wouldn't do that anyway. So we don't need more. Joe mansions is the message that they're trying to send to people. And this person, my opponent here, whoever it is, whether it's, you know, hi Henry, uh, uh, uh, koala down in Texas, whether it's con lamb up in Pennsylvania, the opponents are telling the public, these are the corporate centrist, moderate proto Republicans that we have to fight against. We can't send more of these people back to Congress, because if we do what we're going to see is a continued stall of the democratic agenda. We're going to see Republicans continue to erode our rights and not be able to fight back because these Democrats are not fighters. They fight to protect the status quo. They fight to protect what is, and then when, what is becomes, what was, they still don't fight back against it. And the reason is very simple. Either one they're being paid by their donors to not do anything about it or two, they don't care because it doesn't affect them. You think Roe V Wade being overturned, uh, being overturned, excuse me, affects Joe mansion in any way at all, because it doesn't, it absolutely 100% does not. Do you think killing build back better hurt Joe mansion in West Virginia? Nope. His approval rating went up folks after he did that. He is now the fifth most popular Senator in their state, in the country. Joe mansion is not suffering at all from the decisions that he has made from his destruction of the Biden agenda. That was at one point fairly progressive, not anymore. But Joe mansion is the one who has seen his approval rating go up while Bidens continues to go down. And these Democrats across the country are telling people, this is the problem. This guy and people like him are the problem. Don't send more of these people to Washington DC because they're in it for themselves. They don't care about you. They're not gonna fight for you. They're gonna do whatever is politically convenient for them. Whatever helps them in their career while letting everybody else watch their rights, their careers, and their party. Go down the toilet. Now, if you will, excuse me, I have to call pat back. Sorry.
