Joe Manchin Is Neither A “Moderate” Nor A “Hero”

So this is in response to this post: Joe Manchin Might Be Our Unlikely Hero. The post describes Manchin as “a moderate Democrat in a government that is more polarized than ever.” The Biden-Regime is packing the federal judiciary with hard-core Communists. Manchin did not cast a vote against any of these Communists until May of this year. If that is “moderate” I would hate to see “extreme.” These judges will … in the increasingly unlikely event the GOP prevails in 2024 … block every single attempt by the GOP to roll back the Biden-Regime’s policies.

As for “polarized” government … WHAT?!?! The UniParty is all in on giving a blank check to Zelensky, and by extension Blackrock and the military industrial complex. The UniParty continues to generously fund the totally corrupt FBI and “intelligence community.” If that’s “polarization” I would hate to see “consensus.”

The post also claims that “Manchin was correct when discussing both parties going too far to their respective fringe.” I would love to know who is a “fringe” Republican and what makes said Republican “fringe.” A Republican to the right of Mitch McConnell? That would make most GOP voters “fringe” because good old, “moderate” Mitch is the most unpopular (18.8% popular per RCP) major political figure in the country.

By “fringe” Manchin is necessarily referring to the majority of West Virginia voters who, based on the polls, see through and are tired of his “I’m a moderate” charade. The truth is that these voters constitute the “middle” and their rejection of Manchin means that it is Manchin who is fringe.
