I don't know what you are getting so excited about. I am not penning an op ed on the front page of the New York times, I am having a family discussion with 10 people on a small thread in Timbuktu.

Manchin is being a real prick and bragging about his power.

He is making life hell for both Biden and the democratic party e.g. not being able to pass legislation on voter suppression is kind of important, etc.

Of course we are happy he is in our camp, but in a family discussion I am merely musing on what he is doing?

Are we all supposed to bow down to him, or kiss his ass for not bolting to the Republicans?

<,

Oh good lord- if you believed in a big tent you'd quit bitching about Manchin. I'm over here wondering if we should compromise on abortion- even though it means fucking imprisoning women's bodies for 9 months because some prick jizzed in them- and you're worried about whether Manchin belongs in the dem party. Jesus fucking wept.

I'm over here wondering if we should compromise on abortion Oh, please, say it isn't so. It may not be popular here, but I can embrace compromise on the minimum wage, the size of the infrastructure bill, taxation, etc., OK. Compromise on abortion? Personally, no, not, ever. This is not a political issue for me, but one of, well, just about everything else: Rights, health care, privacy, equity..., and so much more. Thinking about what you wrote, I suppose I could accept something like a legitimate "counseling session," but other than something like that, just no way. The Supremes got it so right in 1973. Let it be.
