'We need to work together': Manchin blasts Harris' TV hit on Covid relief
Manchin is part of a bipartisan group of senators that has pushed back against the administration's relief plan.

Sen. Joe Manchin has taken aim at fellow Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris over the administration's approach to pushing its Covid-19 relief plan.

The West Virginia moderate, a key swing vote in an evenly divided Senate, blasted Harris' appearance on a local TV station after she spoke about how the proposed relief is a "big issue" to his constituents.

“I saw [the interview], I couldn’t believe it. No one called me,” Manchin said Friday to WSAZ, the West Virginia station where Harris gave an interview Thursday. “We’re going to try to find a bipartisan pathway forward, I think we need to do. But we need to work together. That’s not a way of working together.”

Harris appeared on WSAZ to speak about the massive relief package, saying: “To your point in West Virginia, one in seven families is describing their household as being hungry, one in six can’t pay their rent, and one in four small businesses are closing permanently or have already closed, so it’s a big issue in West Virginia and across the country.”

Manchin is part of a bipartisan group of senators that has pushed back against the administration's relief plan, urging that the proposed $1,400 direct payments be targeted toward those in greater need.

"We met with his economic team and they put out what they wanted," Manchin said in response to Harris. "We want to help everyone that needs help. But if a person's making $250K or $300K, I don't think they're in much needs as a person making $40K or 50K. That's all I said. We're going to target."

The Vice President's office declined to comment on Manchin's comments.

Manchin and Sinema are why Dems will pass almost nothing.

Now Manchin will block Dem bills just to spite Harris, who is 100% correct that dirt poor WV desperately needs government $100Ms.

Kind of the vibe I'm getting when he's railing against people making $300,000 a year not needing stimulus checks. So he can act like he's against them with a right wing talking point and that he brought the number down to something sensible by limiting it to individuals making less than $100k like the other two stimulus checks already were.

"More than 80,000 people living in West Virginia, where the minimum wage is $8.75 an hour,

will see higher pay if the federal minimum wage is raised to $15 an hour.

But this week, Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia made it clear he’s not supportive of the increase."

speaking from ignorance, you should research the effects of Fed min wage increases, over the decades, and right to today, on unemployment rate, eg Seattle and regions with minimum wage much higher than (shithole Texas') $7.25).

Supply side I agree with, trickle down not so much when you consider executives making $11.3 million while "senior managers" that drive the operational success of the company are lucky to make $150K at the ground/office level.

Supply side economics has been pretty much thoroughly debunked. Just about every serious study on it seems to pretty much agree.

RandomGuy

Supply side and trickle down are the exact same thing. There’s no difference between the two ideologies. They’re synonyms.

That is pretty much my understanding.

Went looking for specific studies and found a fairly decent 'splainer article that put some minor differences.
https://www.thebalance.com/supply-side-economics-does-it-work-3305786
What annoys me about that article is that it said "reagan put supply side into action" while glossing over the keynesian doubling of defense spending and deficit spending.
Doesn't do what it is advertised to do. Proponents basically confirmation bias themselves into the position that we are much farther along the Laffer Curve than we almost certainly are.

Sorry Reck, this is probably the dumbest thing I read all day. Year one and two of any presidency is when you get things done, especially when you control both chambers.

You have the political capital coming out victorious from the election and that erodes every day you're in power. Barry passed ACA at the end of year two, after working on it the whole year. Trump passed his tax cuts early in year two as well.

As with Repugs blocking everything from the Dems, the whole point is to fuck up the economy and maintain the pain during Democrat control or Presidency, then have the voters blame the Dems, when in fact IT WAS THE REPUGS

Schumer IS a douchebag owned by NYC Capitalists,

but no Senate Dem leader can do anything with only 48 Dem Senators and the filibuster.

The Repugs strategy is to prove that govt can do no good (Trash's Exec kakistorcracy), privatize all govt functions, and absolutely ensure that no good comes from anything the Dems do.

I personally care about legislation that involves voting because it’s pretty clear to me that there is very little fraud and a whole lot of maneuvering by the red team to make sure more people don’t vote with the changing demographics. I see this as a problem. Many people do not look at issues closely, this does not automatically prohibit them from voting. When the popular vote is getting out of whack with the electoral college we have a problem

The country as a whole is better off when a president wins the popular vote and the electoral college in my opinion. simply because it means the majority of the people who decided to vote were very clear about who they want as president. (Even when given bad choices produced by a bad system that requires the ability to raise money in order to be considered)

Give up the ghost as in they fall in line? Always a possibility but it doesn’t seem likely. It all boils down to Manchin though, if he folds Sinema doesn’t have enough political capital to stand by herself, she needs Manchin for cover.

what I think a lot of people don’t realize tho is that a lot of other centrist Dems like Mark Warner and Jeanine Shaheen are using Manchin for cover but have no intention of supporting any significant tax and spend, New Deal style programs either. It’s not like the senate is Manchin, Sinema and 48 Ed Markeys, there’s ~5 additional centrist Dems who will need to be won over every time.

It's already GAMEOVER for every single Dem bill, McConnell has said it, he already did it in 2019-2020, 400+ Dem bills blocked, and says he will continue to block everything.

The mid-terms, after 2020 Census redistricting/partisan gerrymander, will probably hand the House to the Repugs,

since the Repugs will try to purge, mostly successfully, every Dem Rep out all the Confederate/red states,

then Biden can spend his last next two years vetoing all the insane shit the Repug Congress passes.

Imo if Trump runs again in 2024 the upside is that he’s unpopular and would definitely lose but the downside is he makes it impossible for Sherrod, Tester or Manchin to win their race in ‘24.

I think Manchin would be fine. He has such an unusual constituency for a red state Dem as most red state Dems rely heavily on the South's large black population and WV is 92% white. His thing is he is beloved due to his time as a popular governor, he is a gun nut and proud of it (has ads with him firing rifles and such), and while he is a Dem he grandstands about how he is not a leftwing one to drive the point home with shit like this. Annoying but thats his schtick. I don't get why he is making a stand on infrastructure of all things (which would probably be popular even in WV) but I am not going to doubt him at this point. Really if Cal Cunningham and some others hadnt shit the bed we wouldnt be talking about him is the real issue.

He barely won in a D+9 wave year (2018) when his opponent was a carpet bagging opioid lobbyist from New Jersey :lol (his opponent in previous races was also a tea party nut, he's 3-for-3 in drawing a terrible opponent in senate races). If his opponent was anyone like Moore-Capito he'd have lost in 2018. He'll definitely get a fuckload of split ticket voters the same way he always does, but 2024 will be his toughest election yet, and I don't see him winning unless the GOP picks a historically bad candidate again.

The ultimate issue is definitely that we needed a bigger senate majority so we're not relying on Manchin/Sinema but I'm not sure if there was ever a path. Chad Cuminhand and Sara Gideon each should have won their races, but I'm not sure if the Bullocks/Greenfields/Al Grosses/etc. had a chance at all, and if Cuminhand/Gideon both won, I don't think Ossoff/Warnock get the turnout needed in their runoff election with the Dems already having a senate majority.

I really don't get why Manchin is stonewalling on infrastructure though. Biden's infrastructure plan is basically taxing the shit out of rich people (disproportionately in blue states) and using it to rebuild dogshit middle America states like West Virginia. It's kinda a votingrepublican.jpg move on his part to be blocking infrastructure.

'22 won't be a wave election for either party, there aren't any major demographic shifts occurring right now. '10 and '14 were wave elections because of a huge rural voter shift to the right, and '18 was a wave election because of a huge suburb voter shift to the left.

The GOP probably retakes the house in '22 but it'll be solely due to redistricting in Republican controlled states.

I actually think the Dems will win the generic ballot in '22 because the economy will be better by then and Biden will likely have a positive approval rating (Trump and Obama each had underwater approval ratings for their midterm bloodbaths) just not by enough.

IMO it'll take a D+5 (potentially even a D+5.5) generic ballot to keep the house because of gerrymandering unless the Dems in Illinois, NY and CA become as ruthless as the Maryland Democrats are at map drawing.

That's what I meant though, the 2021-2030 ones are going to be worse for Democrats than the 2011-2020 ones because the state legislatures (which tilt Republican in all the red AND purple states, as opposed to the actual U.S. House representatives) draw the maps and thus gerrymander it up. Of course the Dems gerrymander in the blue states but Democratic state legislature minorities are pretty exclusively limited to blue states.

I'm cool with that. :toast Just not cool with that original proposed $400K barrier crap because in today's inflated dollars that's not really a ton of money. Especially when they threatened to renege by changing it to $200K for single filers (i.e. most of us) and $400K for MFJ families.

I know a lot of Philly collar county suburban whites who despise Wolf over the freedom infringements and general way he handled COVID in PA and want him the fuck out next gubernatorial cycle. Some even want him in prison. So, no.

I do think the Republicans are overly optimistic about pickups in the Senate especially in blue states like CO and IL. I don't see the incumbent lady in Nevada losing but I guess it's possible. I do see the Republicans keeping Wisconsin and Ohio and probably NC. If Sununu runs in NH the GOP would pick up that seat, if not they probably won't.

Of course the Dems gerrymander in the blue states but Democratic state legislature minorities are pretty exclusively limited to blue states.
It won't though because the GOP had more control for 2011 redistricting than it'll have this time around. More states have independent commissions, states like WI/PA have Dem governs with veto power that they didn't have 10 years ago, and even some states with total GOP control have a Democratic supreme court majority that'll order maps to be redrawn that they didn't have in 2011 (e.g., North Carolina). The turnout patterns were also easier to predict then. It's not clear if 2020-level election turnout is here to stay or if it'll revert back; if you draw a map assuming one thing and the other happens your map could be shot to shit.

I think what you're also missing is that the effects of gerrymandering wear off as you get further into the decade, especially when they're as aggressively drawn as they are in states like Texas. Coalitions change, people move, etc. The Texas GOP almost lost its state leg majority last year because of a map that was drawn to favor the GOP in 2010 that ended up favoring the Dems by 2020.

:lmao Tom Wolf is incredibly popular, your anecdotal bullshit doesn't change that. He'd mop the floor against all the retards the GOP currently has running for that seat.

The GOP thinking it can take Bennet or Duckworth out is delusional. The GOP hasn't even found a candidate to run against CCM yet so you're right there. I don't see how the Dems could win Ohio but I think NC is winnable since the Dems have a great candidate in NC who won a statewide race there in '14 which was a horrible environment for Dems.

Sununu's popularity as governor isn't going to translate to a senate race the way a lot of people seem to think, if that's how it worked then we'd be talking about Senator Bullock and Senator Bredesen right now. Senate races are a lot more partisan since a vote for Sununu is basically a vote for McConnell. Not even sure if Sununu is going to run though, he seems to hate DC politics and regularly talks shit about how congress sucks.

Old Joe was right all along, Dale... to the point he beat Dear Leader in a landslide... he's the ultimate winner.

Let's not talk about self-respect, tbh. This is a topic that won't end well, especially being a fan of a loser that still communicates like a 7 year old.

As good as Joe is, he can't fix stupid. Don't be a statistic Dale, get Joe's vaccine while you still can, tbh...

Biden didn’t steal the bigger stimulus check from Trump, Cocaine Mitch did. Trump picked the wrong party to align himself with.

LOL Trump was nothing but a useful idiot to McConnell who Mitch discarded in a second when he figured the Dear Nazi had no chance in the election. Trump was basically Mitch's hype man for four years. Exploited emo boomers to get McConnell's judiciary in place.

:lmao Trump was Cocaine Mitch’s stooge

Trump: “I wanna do infrastructure and bring manufacturing jobs back to the US!”

McConnell: “No. You’re gonna sign the tax cut for the rich we send to your desk, and here’s a list of Federalist Society judges for you to nominate”

Trump: “OK”

Everyone with a room temperature IQ that dark night of 11/9/2016 knew Trump was going to be a lazy piece of shit and just hand the presidency off to McConnell. I mean that was completely obvious once he offered Kasich control of domestic and foreign policy to be VP.

Even if it wasn’t obvious then, it was definitely obvious after Bannon got fired for actually encouraging Trump to govern like a populist and raise taxes on the rich.

Is “race hustler” a term that Limbaugh’s AM radio replacement uses or something?Goes back at least as far as the 1980s, it was often used to describe Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson at the time.

Civil rights for white folks is laudable and normal, but civil rights for black folks is disreputable and "a hustle."

What is wokism?

This essay is refreshingly straight-forward in its analysis and its proposed solution.

The problem: civil rights law, gender equality and anti-harassment law.

The solution: chuck em all.

"Race hustler" is super effective, obviously. It's a akin to "race baiter" but cuts quicker and deeper. John Lewis was a master race hustler, thus taught Hussein the vocation.
