Poll: What is your view of Joe Manchin, Democratic Party - West Virginia?

[Contrarian]

Reason.com, a libertarian article which is trending now: 

• Joe Manchin of West Virginia Is Once Again Telling Republicans and Democrats What They Don't Want To Hear.
• During the first two years of the Biden administration, Sen. Joe Manchin (D–W.Va.) often ended up having to be the responsible adult in the room.

What is your view of Joe Machin? I started a poll. 

---> will go with a responsible adult. Is great, in my opinion, to have a force there which is not part of the 2 main parties' doctrine.

He is always looking out for his large coal business interests. He is a DINO.

I have family in West Virginia and have spent a lot of time there. Manchin is working for his constituents.

He's not just a "flunky," he OWNS a large business serving the coal industry, so he's getting a sizeable cut.

How about the people that voted for him? They don't matter? Does it have to be the party doctrine of Gavin Newsom now? 

We need a few centrist Democrats in here, too much progressive politics. 😎

California has West Virginia and the rest of the country beat when it comes to the homeless.

Coal fuels civilization and provides a livelihood for the average West Virginian. An unelected senile pedophile wants to destroy the American coal industry, while cashing checks from China, (the LARGEST coal user in the world.)

Are you serious? The other Democrats don't have a conflict of interest with their personal INCOME?

How do you assume one that never had a real profession as Bernie Sanders ended up at the top of the food chain? Are you saying Bernie is clean and does not play the game of lobbying? He is the lone clean wolf that old Bernie. 😀

• Every politician and better yet, everyone that says they don't have conflicts of interest, if one takes a microscope and analyzes close enough, to every human being, the flaws are there, no matter how well one talks in his good-spoken politician world. We are flawed machines.

Are you serious? You believe his net worth of $2.5M is "top of the food chain"?

You need to get out more.

How Bernie Sanders, The Socialist Senator, Amassed A $2.5 Million Fortune

Quote

Sanders, 77, has, in fact, amassed an estimated $2.5 million fortune from real estate, investments, government pensions—and earnings from three books, including the 2016 hit Our Revolution: A Future to Believe In. “I wrote a best-selling book. If you write a best-selling book, you can be a millionaire, too,” he recently told the New York Times, striking a downright Trumpian note.

Since his bid for the Democratic nomination raised his profile in 2016, Sanders has released a book a year. In all, he has pulled in at least $1.7 million from the series, starting with Our Revolution (220,000 copies sold, according to industry tracker NPD BookScan) and then Bernie Sanders Guide to Political Revolution (27,000) and finally Where We Go From Here: Two Years in the Resistance (26,000). 

Publishing books is not a conflict of interest for a Senator.

Ok, the income is not as high as I thought, but how about the food chain in the political climate?, he has quite a lot of influence for someone that was sleeping rent-free, doing carpentry and failed + vacationing in the Soviet Union.

But you know what, for one that never engaged in delivering a good or a service, to "amase" a $2.5 million fortune, yah, I think will still consider being at a top of the food chain for someone like Bernie.

He "delivered" numerous books which are both a good AND a service.

BAsically, his millions were due to his political office. It's not like Trump, who single handedly built a PRIVATE SECTOR international real estate EMPIRE worth ten BILLION.

Nazi Pelosi likewise got rich from insider trading.

With a population of 39 million of course Californias homeless population would be larger. And yes I'll say it again, California is the world's 6th largest economy and the biggest donor state in the union, which provides much of the funding for the toothless in W Virginia and other down downtrodden red state glory holes so that they can live in squalor and in those nifty rat infested shacks they they're so proud off

I understand you treat this forum as a "Toilet Bowl", you mentioned this before, but not all of us are like this. 

I know what you will say, that you are not real, of course, you are not real, anyone with an IQ under 70 can read your style and know your activities present and past, with a trace like this, are you kidding? 

😂

Here is the Quality Data:

According to the 2020 Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR) to Congress, California had the highest number of people experiencing homelessness in the country, with an estimated 161,548 people.

HOWEVER. WHY DOES CALIFORNIA HAVE THE HIGHEST NUMBER?

• this number needs to be talked based on California's large population, which is nearly 40 million people. In comparison, West Virginia had an estimated 1,064 people experiencing homelessness in 2020, but its population is only around 1.8 million people.

If any of that ignorant statement were true, people would be moving INTO California, rather than out. It is NOT the 6th largest economy in the world. (It was under Governor Reagan, but now it's a third world shithole.)

California has NO middle class. Just the super rich and the homeless.

And that bullshit LIE about blue states providing welfare funding for red states has been debunked so many times that I'm thinking that only total uneducated retards keep bringing that LIE up.

I didn't come here to hand out participation trophies. I recognize this place and ALL OTHER POLITICAL MESSAGE BOARDS for what they are. ALL of you are nothing more than typed TEXT, and whatever graphics you can find. Nobody here gives out a real name. Nobody here shares what part of the world they live, or their  occupations. (Although I've been  pretty honest about living in Florida and working in the public school system.  And whenever one of you retards loses an argument, you throw up the substitute teacher thing as if it is relevant to any argument at all.)

Wanna convince me otherwise? Give your real name, your address, hell, your checking account number.

I know what you will say, that you are not real, of course, you are not real, anyone with an IQ under 70 can read your style and know your activities present and past, with a trace like this, are you kidding? 

Pretty much every liberal here has an IQ HALF of 70. And pretty much every liberal here is too STUPID to figure out what I'm saying, except that my truth triggers them.

With the resources California has, it should be a paradise, where EVERYONE lives in a comfortable home, has plenty to eat and is happy. (KInda like what it was when Reagan was governor.) Certainly California takes in enough in TAXES to accomplish that. But it is becoming Venezuela, where pretty soon people will be eating their pets just to survive.

West Virginia shouldn't have ANY population whatsoever because of the terrain. Every house, every road, every business, has been built around mountains. I spent a lot of time in Charleston, the capital city. Getting around there is a nightmare, because of the roads, the winding paths up and down mountains, the sheer lack of flat space. It is moronic to compare West Virginia with California. But California's left wing policies, it's open borders, it's oppressive taxes and it's skyrocketing cost of living makes it a living HELL to anyone who isn't either a movie star or in the tech industry.

Like I said, NO MIDDLE CLASS.

Why would I give my account number or my information? Just seeing how disgruntled you are, is a risk to take it from me, because that is what people like you do. 

I told you before, you are not qualified to run a hot dog stand with your behaviour.

So enjoy the keyboard, soon enough, you will be gone at the trash of Internet Trolls history or talking to yourself.

Moving forward, will try not  to answer any garbage posts of yours.

---> Will not ignore you, is fun sometimes to read someone swirl. But just read, engaging with you is like going into the gutter, brings no benefit it seems.

You write like a third grader. (and not as good as a Florida third grader.) And you are denser than Strontium 90.

I mentioned the checking account number as an ILLUSTRATION (find someone from an educated Red state to define that word for you) of just how unimportant all of us are, at this place. You are no more important than any other pile of text. And just like everyone else, you hide behind that anonymity (as do I) because some of your statements would get you punched in the mouth in the physical world. The statement was a PUT UP OR SHUT UP signal. If you REALLY think you are as special as your parents have probably told you all  your life, with all those participation trophies and all those Ds on the report card, then come out of the closet. Advertise your SPECIAL self and rise above the status of the rest of us. Or admit that you are no better than ANY other TEXT being viewed here.

The gutter would score higher on high school SAT. You are about as nuanced as an amoeba. I occasionally eat at hot dog stands, (which are a little more complicated to run and maintain profitability as well as state regulations than your education would allow. They aren't like the childhood lemonade states your parents probably bought you just to get you away from the cartoons and computer games. )

And if you are threatening something ("trash of internet troll") I get the sense that you don't even have a clue as to what that phrase even means. But plenty of educated mainstream conservatives here (as well as the retarded goose stepping WokeNazis) seem to have no problem responding to me, so you don't get to feel SPECIAL because you somehow threatened an IGNORE.

(You really are a child.)
If engaging with me feels like the gutter, then you're lucky you dropped out of the third grade in a blue state. Higher education (fourth grade and up) would seem like a nightmare to that small mind of yours.

---> Everytime a low life like you brings up "punched in the mouth", they lost the battle, which probably means you had some interactions with the law too.

---> They would? Then I would call the police and laugh in their face. Not only that, will ensure will show up to every court hearing and run a media campaign so they would not be able to get a job in the future. I can think of creative things against the criminal element that can not hold their poor little emotions and resort to violence.
