If I thought they could win I’d go manchin. I wouldn’t intentionally vote for a lost cause though.
My thoughts as well.
Manchin seems, for the most part, to be a reasonable guy. But I don't see his role in 2024 as anything but that of
Ross Perotspoiler. The question is who will he spoil?@George-K said in Informal Poll…:

Of the 3 choices, Manchin. The only one who hasn’t lost his mind.
Same. But I also don't give a shit.
- The biggest fallout from the November election isn't going to be any election result, but how we decide to react. We could have Portland on steroids in every major city if we wanted to. Or we could suck it the fuck up and react maturely. I'm not holding my breath.
- It's my silly opinion that we've reached late-stage Boomer-era progress. Because I think Ted's right about the following, I find political discourse, from Manchin or otherwise, largely irrelevant: https://www.honest-broker.com/p/i-ask-seven-heretical-questions-about
Please love yourself.

This is a legit concern if Trump wins (it will be chaos, because the adults in the room at the levers of institutional power will collectively throw hysterical temper tantrums, and nobody around them will the adult to their child). But I don't see any issues if Biden wins again, beyond some local and easily put down unrest. Everybody will get back to normal life within a few days.
Education is extremely important.

Good article. Comments are good, too.

No, too wordy. A good article would succinctly list all seven questions right at the start.

The last Biden victory led to our very electoral process being put on hold due to our Capitol being assaulted by dumbshits. I know we disagree about the nature and severity of that, which, okay, but for me the point is that using feels to justify circumvention of process is becoming more commonplace and more expected. Which is bad news for everyone.
