Are we really going to pretend that ambitious politicians don’t take advantage of the Democratic Parties lack of any coherent ideological standard, and just strategically position themselves to the far right of the party? Joe Manchin stands in a long line of congressmen who have made fucking careers obstructing the Democratic Party. They pay no penalty for it, rather they are all richly rewarded for only having voted on the party line occasionally when it didn’t interfere with their personal agenda.
