117th Congress: DEMS IN DISARRAY!!!111!!

[St. Clown]

And again, I don’t need to be lectured on how we don’t want an R in that seat. I wish he’d stop grandstanding on these idiotic trains of thought

He can’t help it, he’s a West Virginian idiot himself.

Manchin's style is all well and good if Republicans negotiate in good faith, but we all know that they have zero intention of doing so.

Like trickle down would work if rich people and corps stopped hoarding money

[Handyman]

Manchin must not like being out "d-bagged" by Sinema. That is the only explanation for why he keeps saying this crap out loud. We get it, you are a ****nut who doesn't live in the real world...go work in a mine and shut the **** up already.

He's doing what his constituency of Morlocks wants. Can't blame him and I for one would rather any D than any R. We have committee chairs because of that imbecile; in all honesty he doesn't owe us anything else.

Would it be nice to live in a world where a large majority of the population had functioning brains? Yes. Do we? No. So you get the best Congress your sad sack population can produce, and right now this is ours. Who knows? The dumbas-ses may COVID themselves down to size.

yeah, I don't blame Manchin. He is who he is, and it's the best we're going to get from WV.

I blame my fellow Mainers. Manchin would matter less if we had sent Suzie packing.

Is Maine going the way of Ohio? I'd have thought by now it was all Mas-sholes who split, like NH. Then again, the Mas-sholes I knew who moved to NH were all racists.

Soooo, making it easy for people to exercise their Constitutional right to vote for the candidate of their choice is partisan?

I mean, all these newly automatically registered, standing in short voter lines, or able to drop an envelope into a box, can vote Republican, or even Green Party if they choose, correct?

All this wouldn't be necessary if they counted as a 3/5 vote as they were supposed to.

Susan still has a lot of good will with average Mainer, who inaccurately view her in the same light as Olympia Snowe (one of the last true classic New England Republicans). Snowe had the brains to quit before debasing her self supporting what the GOP was becoming, which allowed her seat to flip. I think there is a decent chance Maine will have two senators that caucus with the Democrats once Collins is out of the picture.


The M*******s mostly live in the first district (which voted for Biden 60–37) and along the coast (my coastal town voted for Biden 75-22%).


I live in Maine's "red" 2nd district (which also voted for Obama, Kerry, Gore, Clinton). It's been interesting how Trump was able to convince a bunch of laid-off paper makers, lobster fishermen, and under employed lumberjacks that he was their savior (Obama won it by a bigger margin than Trump did, it was a huge swing). However, we are still represented by a Democrat in congress and going back to 1995 (since Snowe left the seat and ran for Senate) had only one 4-year stretch with a republican congressman. Our congressional rep was able to pull off a 6 point win even though Trump won by 7 points. It's turned from pretty reliably Democratic (even if more conservative than the first district) to Trump country has been quite sad to witness. I honestly think if Trump were not on the ballot, there is a good chance it flips back. A lot of his base in Maine is made up of the type that aren't usually all that motivated to turn out for an election.

Hey, nothing's stopping the darkies from voting Republican.

You know, except for Republican policy.

I've got no explanation for Obama-Dump voters. I can't account for them in any way. I guess they're real and not just a shift of participation from one group to another. Supposedly there is proof of the same people voting first O then Dump. But I don't get it, at all.

Charisma. For folks who think, "He sounded confident, he has my vote" that is all they need.
