Members of the national and state Poor People’s Campaign want a lot from Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va.Good luck with that. Big money is his boss and he's like granite.
Primary him. We don't need Democrats like that. He is a republican plant. Just consider what he stands for.
I have an idea to move him. Vote him out!
they're draggin be back rev!

Enough already Now do the only thing to move America forward not one step back ! Manchin Kill the fillerbuster and when done passing the John Lewis Bill And George Floyd ( Say their Name ) Bill NOW for the love of Country !

Don't worry about Joe Manchin, he has a soul... He'll come around and vote for the 3.2 trillion dollars reconciliation bill, Kristen Senama too..
A FAKE DEMOCRAT
Munchkin is a DINO
PLEASE! He needs to go!
What's the munchkin up to lately
On Tuesday, the Nebraska Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival joined fellow Nebraskans gathered at the Nebraska State Capitol to “proudly & loudly state their opposition to a costly, complicated voter restriction scheme that would have untold consequences on every eligible Nebraska voter.”
Nebraskans voice opposition to latest voter restriction scheme – Civic Nebraska
t.co
Revising the state Constitution to enshine voting restrictions in our supreme law is against Nebraska values. Decline to Sign voter restriction petitions.‘The Rev. William Barber II is blunter. “Stop being a political coward!” he thundered after Manchin suggested Democrats should pause in the quest to “go big” on social safety net issues. “If you’re scared of the donors, say it, but don’t say we have done enough and made the playing field more level.”’ -John Nichols, The Nation
Cutting the $3.5 Trillion Budget Plan Would Be Political Malpractice

Joe Manchin’s lobbyist-influenced advice threatens to ruin Democratic chances in 2022.Manchin is beholden to his corporate donors not his constituents. His daughter, Heather Bresch, is a major player in the unconscionable increase in the price of the life saving epi-pen. Why is Manchin an opponent of health care reform? Ask his daughter. Ask his donors. He's not a coward, Rev. Barber. He's a self-serving vile greedy pocket man living in luxury while his constituents want the policies and struggle for the opportunities he opposes.
We need to find a way to stop letting one or two people govern us. When will all the bills stalled on McConnell's desk be addressed or did they magically go away? Manchin keeps going against not only his party but the majority of US citizens wishes. These men represent one part of one state why are they controlling so much?
Playing the political game, Massachusetts Rep. Ritchie Neal, head of the ways and means committee cut it to 2.9 trillion. Many here in Massachusetts are angry with Neal who has been in office since 1989.
I’m sick of manchin .He is not there to help the people
MANCHIN MUST BE VOTED OUT W. VIRGINIA!! GET IT DONE!!
Manchin is not a true representative of his constituents nor does he represent anything consistently but lining his own pockets.
They allow him too much importance! He’s really a Republican in Democrats clothing! He should be embarrassed by his antics but people like him really don’t care about the American people! Where was he when trump gave tax cuts to the rich and the rest of us ended up paying higher taxes? He’s a hypocrite!!
I say Manchin is a Republican at heart, who ran as a Democrat for his personal benefit. He needs to be voted out even if we ended up with a Republican, but that’s better than having a two faced, self serving liar.
Manchin a Republican posing as a democrat!! Vote his sorry, coward behind out!! Don't fake who you are, who you represent, we already know who you are and who you represent!! SIT YOUR FAKE BEHIND DOWN!! WE DON'T NEED YOU!! GO HOME!! RESIGN, RETIRE!!
Manchin isnt a democrat or a republican..hes for sale.
MANCHIN NEEDS TO GET ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THIS HISTORICAL MOMENT!
Primary him
Bishop William J. Barber, II. You Rock!!
I agree
👊
Rev. Barber is in target 👏
Manchin is a traitor and a money loving power hungry. Selfish JERK!!
