Feinstein is worse because we could get a much better progressive there. Manchin is probably the best we could hope for out of WVA.

For what it's worth, Manchin is pretty reviled in most of WV. I very rarely meet anyone who has anything positive to say about him, including Democrats who work as elected officials in the state government.

I have no idea about Feinstein in California.

Manchin is absolutely not the apotheosis of Democrats in WV and I really wish people would quit peddling that bullshit.

Manchin has a 60%ish approval rating. How is he "pretty reviled?"

Pockets of support outside where I usually am I guess (southern coalfields, northern area around Morgantown).

Mostly I just really, really dislike him and would love it if Robert Byrd could come back from the dead and force his soul into Manchin's body.

You get to be a DNC member by 1. Winning certain elected offices (a small number) 2. Being well-connected with a state party 3. Be a prominent fundraiser for a state party

Some DNC members are just retirees that have been around for ages. Others are consultants or lobbyists that work closely with state parties. Most DNC members don't have donors that hold them accountable - they're mostly powerless members of state parties that themselves are often irrelevant.

Most DNC members just don't actually give a poo poo about the DNC.

feinstein is least apparently capable of being shamed into doing good things and hasn't had a molten salt meltdown when talking to her constituents like manchin did the other day

Maybe if Clinton wouldnt have given Goldman Sachs loving speeches behind closed doors and then refused for years to release the transcripts people would have trusted her more?

Nah, let's blame the voters who only vote once every 4 years
