Sen. Joe Manchin says he'll vote against the For the People Act and reiterates his opposition to gutting the filibuster to push through Biden's agenda

Washington Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin on Sunday defended his decision to vote against a sweeping voting rights bill and reiterated his opposition to gutting the filibuster, declaring in the strongest terms yet that he is not willing to change Senate rules to help his party push through much of President Joe Biden's agenda.

"I believe that partisan voting legislation will destroy the already weakening binds of our democracy, and for that reason, I will vote against the For the People Act. Furthermore, I will not vote to weaken or eliminate the filibuster," Manchin, a moderate Democrat from West Virginia, wrote in an op-ed published in the Charleston Gazette.

Bleh to him.

Good job! Let Republican legislators limit minorities vote all they want! Let’s keep voting very, very white. Everyone else doesn’t matters, right?

Politicians need to be banned from owning any business. Start putting fucking actual 9 to 5ers in the represent the majority.

BidenRemorse

GO TO HELL, DINO!!

THANK GOODNESS FOR JOE MANCHIN! HE'S IS A WISE MAN WITH WHAT'S BEST FOR AMERICA AT HEART ! TOO BAD HE IS NOT A REPUBLICAN !

He needs to stop playing games!

So sad

He continue to lie, but it if hits close to his home he would change his tone! Praying he wakeup.

This guy is just a 'closeted Republcan'. Do us a favor and admit it!

He voted for every radical, racist Trump idea and nominations.

A$$

If the 👿 was a person.

I think this Joe Manchin is a Republican!

How does the filibuster make sense? If they keep it then it should always be used even if one party has a healthy majority. America is burning out

Sen_JoeManchin is no better than his Republican colleagues that continue to obstruct equity in voting and all manner of rights. He does not uphold democracy for all his constituents or the rest of American people. Shame on you

Sorry ass!!! I hope the vote you out. Like they did Liz Chaney

I would rather see a republican win in West Virginia rather then count on Joe Friendly Fire

ManchinMustGo

He needs to be ousted. He like the Republicans, are enjoying their perceived power and don’t care about fairness.

Fvck Joe Manchin.

You were not re elected you stole your office by helping Trump stop mail in ballets , you will vote against it cause you will be caught all you stolen votes and republican office theifs

Democrat In Name Only. D.I.N.O.

Sen_JoeManchin is a Republican plant.

He’s a fool

tell him to go to …

JoeManchinWV voting against. Is it a video? Is it a video?

Because Manchin's only value is to block a Trumpist Senate leader for setting and conducting the Senate agenda. Otherwise he is a functioning Trumpist. Welcome to gridlock. Dems need to dispense with any pretense of 'bipartisanship' and liberally wield executive options.

He is a jerk.

That’s disgraceful

Why is he in the Democrat

Wake up, Joe!

DemoKoch

Biden needs to go to West Virginia and lobby against Manchin directly.

Tell me again that Manchin is a Democrat…

Then there should be repercussions for being an anti democracy! Remove him from all committees and censure him. Kick him out of the party!!

I wish more Americans, regardless of party, thought like this man. (And read his actual words before you make a stupid, uninformed comment)

Joe Manchin maybe compromised, Do republicans have dirt on Manchin, are we watching blackmail in plain site. My assertion is based on his inane responses to our deteriorating republic. Take a closer look at Manchin, something isn't right with him.

JOE MANCHIN , sadly is a Republican in disguise. He is a SPY. Must be reporting to McConnell. Cares only about himself. Should be challenged in the primaries by a TRUE DEMOCRAT.

Biden's agenda is to ruin our country

I also think Deep Down he is a RACIST.

ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. Manchin is a Greedy Rich Old White Guy eho just eants monry coming his way, he can give a rats ass about others. He is 70 and even if Democracy dies he is well off to live his final years in luxury. Worthless P○$

Manchin is blocking true democracy from moving forward so he must be a secret Republican. Hard to understand what he's trying to do because the voting rights Bill is so real democracy can operate and not be hijacked and controlled by the minority right wing crazies.

I’m against unnecessary violence (exception: self defense), but some people need

Joe Manchinis a 💩💩💩💩💩💩

Man this dude is a down low republican 😡

Shouldn't we just accept the fact that he is a Republican?

Why don't you just go over to the republican side?

This guy is going to kill everything the Dems want? Why not ask him, what's up with that. Has any other Democrat ask him what's up with that

Hmm I can think of a couple reasons why he’d be against this..

Traitor.

Time for Manchin to go

Traitor! What are the Repubs paying him? They are laughing their heads of, having succeeded in stopping President Biden’s agenda cold!

He needs to be honest and own up to being republican

He needs to be recalled!!

Republican senator joe manchin

Please vote him out

Fuck Manchin.

Honestly!!! I hope he lost his sit..doing

Local politician reiterates his firm commitment to being on the wrong side of history in service of the myth of bipartisanship.

So he wants a stalemate then where absolutely nothing will happen as everything will get blocked. Makes sense to me, well makes sense in a way that people like him fear positive change

I hate that this a$$hole has the power he does.

who is he working for?

No party changes the fact that a person is racist!!!!!!

The Dems need to remove him just like they did that other lady.

I honestly don’t understand this guy either he’s been paid off or something strange is going on it makes absolutely no sense

Republican

You call your a representative of the people. This is what happens when a republicans can’t get elected in there party. They say I-am a Democratic vote for me. Republicans hard at work. Vote him out.

He can as well join the Republican Party.

What a pathetic joke of a party. They don’t even want to be in control.

You are an Undercover Republican. We have been tricked.

This guy has gone on a power trip Holding back your own party But allowing the GOP to do whatever the hell they want

It is so depressing that he would oppose the voting rights act!

Screw manchin

How much longer will the sort of guys hang around? They're against bettering America? What the actual HECK!!!!

Patriot

Senator Joe Manchin (R)

Manchin is useless to the Democratic Party. He needs to own up and admit that he wants Jim Crow laws back. He is ONLY in this to keep his corporate constituents appeased and himself rich. HouseDemocrats

Everything he wants should be voted against also. Crazy politicians!

A southern white politician denying minority voting. Shocking.

Sad case of affairs!

Putin has the goods on this guy.

Look into what Manchin is getting out of this.

I think we all can agree...it is time to vote OUT Sen. Joe Manchin JoeManchinWV

He is becoming irrelevant. He has no solution and makesno attempt to get Republicans to work across the aisle.

JoeManchinWV wants bipartisanship….and some how in his idiotic mind he thinks helping the GOP in their goal of blocking everything is going to achieve that goal. WTF? GOPCorruptionOverCountry ManchinIsADINO VoteThemAllOut2022

It is now safe to assume that the Democrats no longer control the Senate floorand must treat Manchin as a hostile force.

Don’t be surprised. Manchin let us know who he really is sometime ago—a rural confederate gun toting white boy. I think the democrats were just hoping it wasn’t true.

JOE MANCHIN IS A TRUE EXAMPLE OF A HYPOCRITE. IN WORDS AND DEEDS.

What precisely does Sen. Manchin oppose in the “We the People” bill? It seems to be simply that it does not have bipartisan support. Bipartisanship is a lofty goal except when one party is doing everything it can to destroy the fabric of our democracy. Compromise is impossible.

Ugh.

Who cares. I gave up on this country a long time ago.

Delusional if he thinks republicans will vote for anything good for real Americans. GQP only help themselves and corporate interests.

Manchin is a Democrat in a very red state, either he needs to support his party or change parties.He should be helping Biden’s agenda, not McConnells. The majority of Americans voted for serious change in November 2020, that needs to be honored and protected.

The democrats don’t even have to worry about McConnell turning down all their bills. Manchin is doing it for the GOP

Joe Manchin rejects For the People Act, says partisan voting legislation will further 'destroy' democracy'Voting and election reform that is done in a partisan manner will all but ensure partisan divisions continue to deepen,' the West Virginia Democrat wrote. By not voting for the FTPA to not appear partisan he is in fact being partisan. How about you vote for it because it’s good for America and it’s why the people sent you to Washington. Sen_JoeManchin if you’re worried about “destroying democracy” then taking away our right to vote is the FASTEST way to do that!! If you give state legislatures the power to overturn election results they don’t like then democracy is officially over. What are you thinking?!! Could someone ask mr Manchin just how bolstering the voting rights of all Americans is going to 'further destroy' democracy? And, How is ending a non-constitutional policy not getting the bills passed into law for the American People? Last I checked, Democrats are...

Manchin say he'll vote against 'partisan' Dem elections billA key Democratic senator says he will not vote for the largest overhaul of U.S. election law in at least a generation, defying his party and the White House and virtually guaranteeing the failure of the legislation after a near party-line approval in the House. The bill would restrict partisan gerrymandering of congressional districts, strike down hurdles to voting and bring transparency to a murky campaign finance system that allows donors to anonymously bankroll political causes. Manchin said lawmakers should instead focus their energies on revitalizing the landmark Voting Rights Act, which was weakened by a Supreme Court decision in 2013. Heroic decision going against the sheep’s wishes The Democrats have only themselves to blame for their legislative failures. They need to realize and accept that America will never be the socialist dictatorship that the Democrats want. The “overhaul” is guaranteeing ballot access you’re giving anti-democracy senators cover by being obtuse

Manchin say he'll vote against 'partisan' Dem elections billWASHINGTON (AP) — A key Democratic senator says he will not vote for the largest overhaul of U.S. election law in at least a generation, defying his party and the White House and virtually guaranteeing the failure of the legislation after a near party-line approval in the House. Senate Democrats need to understand that there are only 49 Democrats. Sad but true. Take the For the People Act to the Senate Floor and vote. 😀 When asked about his opinion on the various state voting acts passed my partisan legislation, Manchin had no comment. Good for Joe Manchin. He's putting America over party.

The filibuster has a ‘sordid history’ standing in the gap for Jim Crow, says Donna Edwards'In the 20th century, it was actually used to enforce segregation, to stand in the gap for Jim Crow laws, to block civil rights and voting rights legislation, and so it's a really sordid history of this thing,' DonnaFEdwards says about the filibuster.
