Me, a reasonable perosn: Yes, these stickers aren't great. But even though the DNC should not be involved, they are allowed to be. Who put them there, do we know it was the DNC?

It's 'cause centrists base their entire political identity on being the good guys on the liberal moral high ground, so when leftists show up and point out all the odious poo poo that centrists support and demand better policies, they go into full defense mode because that strikes directly at the core of their identity.

Who cares, it shouldn't be there. Party events during an election should be neutral too. If you really believe institutional support and advantage mean nothing then there's no reason not to agree since it's useless anyway.

It's 'cause the dem establishment is so garbage at both politics and having a spine that they've convinced themselves that both states and people are somehow unchanging in their politics so that you can't persuade people to vote for you and instead have to run some horrible ghoul that caters to the worst in people in red states. I think it's some sort of coping mechanism to let them live with their political incompetence and cowardice.

That this strategy doesn't work goes without saying, just like it goes without saying that the establishment doesn't really care.

Pattern recognition is such a basic feature of our species that it's amazing to see people without the ability to learn from patterns of the past.

How can you see all this news coming out about how the DNC did all this unfair poo poo and then go "Oh, but here, they're totally innocent, we have no idea who might have done it! Hell, maybe the leftists are the one leaving pro-Manchin stickers! WE JUST DON'T KNOW!"

Well, in Manchin's case at least it does work, since he's the incumbent. The argument there becomes whether it's worth the opportunity loss and the long-term damage to the party's brand to continue to support and court pols like Manchin, even in areas where a better candidate supposedly can't win.

maybe you think manchin's gonna work with the gop to lower your taxes nevvy? http://wvmetronews.com/2017/11/08/248491/

quote:

U.S. Senator Joe Manchin is one of the Democrats in Washington who might be on board with the GOP tax reform package if there are some adjustments made. Manchin added, in an appearance on MetroNews Talkline Wednesday, he’s not the only one.

“I’ve got Democrats I know that will vote for a 25 percent rate and territorial,” said Manchin., “For 25 percent, we have 15 plus (Democrats) who would support that.”

Manchin was part of a meeting at the Library of Congress this week with White House officials talking about the package. President Donald Trump called Manchin and 11 other Democratic lawmakers Tuesday in an attempt to lure them to support the measure.

hmm what a great guy manchin is. his daughter keeps lifesaving meds out of the hands of people who need them, and he gives her corporation a nice tax cut

quote:

When they started stripmining, I can remember my grandfather saying that he'd bag groceries before he'd blow up mountains. He said it was wrong, and he was a coal miner for 45 years. It's all he ever did.

In 2000 my grandpa died and my grandmother started getting sick, so I decided to take my boys back to West Virginia. I noticed things weren't right. A little girl next door had a rare form of bone cancer. There was a little boy, 14, dying of kidney failure. One day I was a working single mom, and the next day I was standing on mountains screaming at people.

I am a coal miner's daughter. I am a coal miner's granddaughter. But I am also a mother, and there's no way you can justify poisoning my children. My children have just as much right to a future, and just as much right to enjoy these mountains and the beauty of these mountains, as I did. And I will fight to my death for that. Watch out, King Coal, because here come the Queens of Appalachia. (Interviewed May 28, 2012)
