Manchin Will Not Eliminate The Filibuster, Major Setback For Liberal Democrats

Manchin’s career is winding down. If he wasn’t looking to be “bought off” by his own party, he needn’t have said anything.

And be honest. Cheap natural gas killed the coal industry.
Obama helped by shutting down coal fired electric plants.

So the industry found something better, cheaper, and cleaner. And nothing the Donald could say would change it.

Or does that make me a commie America hating racist?
Obama was shutting down plants before Trump came along. And we still have a significant percentage of electricity generated by coal. So the folks who produce coal are very wary of anything Dems propose. And you are half black so I guess you're only half racist. Your black side can't be racist.

The difference is the Obama administration went after coal fired plants. The Trump administration's push for energy independence produced a lot of natural gas that of course is cheaper than producing coal so more plants switched to that. You would think the libs would be happy with a much cleaner burning fuel but they don't want any fossil fuel used. So when Biden shut down Keystone and put a moratorium on Federal land drilling it was certainly noticed in coal country. They know how the Dems feel about them. The idea that a few jobs dangled in front of West Virginians will make the state blue is overly optimistic.

One day after the Republican Party :censored2: the bed you’re already predicting the next red waves.🤣
Let's see, the Democratic Party nearly destroyed the coal industry in West Virginia, Manchin, a Democrat, was running against a popular pro coal governor in a state that has turned very red. Yep, it's a Red Wave in WV!
