"Manchin stands in the way of getting rid of the filibuster that the democrats need"
Manchin is not alone, but Rat says "Great". There are prolly 4 or 5 who won't vote to get rid of it. I'm more worried about what we can lose than what we can gain. Can you imagine what Trump, McConnell, and Ryan would have done without it? Everything we've done since '32 could be totally undone in '25.

"He is against raising the minimum wage to $15 and leans more toward McConnell's $10 or $11,"
IIRC, 8 Dems voted against $15.. Rat thinks it should go up by no more than a buck/year, so $11 this term sounds perfect.
