Rep. Bowman calls Manchin ‘the new Mitch McConnell’
Rep. Jamaal Bowman on Monday said Sen. Joe Manchin “has become the new Mitch McConnell,” denouncing the West Virginia Democrat for maintaining his support of the legislative filibuster while opposing his party’s expansive election and ethics reform bill.
In an interview on CNN, Bowman (D-N.Y.) invoked past comments by McConnell that cast the Republican Senate leader as a partisan obstructionist to the agendas of former President Barack Obama and President Joe Biden.
“Now,” Bowman said, “Joe Manchin is doing everything in his power to stop democracy and to stop our work for the people, the work that the people sent us here to do.”
Maverick-ey!

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

The basic fallacy was to assume Manchin is a traditional democrat. He likely wouldn’t have been elected in the first place if he was.

So, what are the Democrats going to do? Primary him? Shake their fists at the air? What's their recourse.
What's Manchin going to do, cross party lines and join the GOP. I'm sure that McConnel has a juicy offer on the table, somewhere.

“Our role as a progressive group is to make their lives hell when people like Manchin and Sinema vote the wrong way,” she said.“
That is truly astounding. This is where we are. Are these people really this tone deaf?

Manchin IS a traditional Democrat. It’s the rest that aren’t any longer.
