- jeffbee 2y agoWest Virginia is not in play for presidential elections.
- daseiner1 2y agoYour original comment was belittling towards the people of West Virginia, which is still a member of the Union as far as I’m aware. The latter half of my comment was obviously more salient in regard to national politics. Not sure why you ignored that.
- Larrikin 2y agoUntil the electoral college is eliminated, or we at least get some kind of system like rank choice voting, there is no point in pretending that the votes of any more than a handful of swing states actually matter.
- RickJWagner 2y agoI do. Manchin is a centrist. In a divided America, that's a very good thing.
- Gibbon1 2y agoI think a lot of Kabuki theater was needed to make it acceptable for Manchin to cast some critical votes is what I think. Remember 90% of politics in public is a mix of Kabuki theater and WWF Wrestling.
