I have absolutely no faith whatsoever in those low educated working class white people. They have gone full on racist and white identity politics. In order to win them back, we would have to focus only on economic populism and abandon our base: women, POC, LGBT, and anyone else they hate.

Eh, I was the target of an internet hate mob for about three days when I was eighteen or so. It was actually terrifying and made me feel bad and unsafe in a way nothing else really has. These people harassed my friends, they dug up personal things about me, they sent me thousands of messages filled with ridiculous…

I’m not trying to go full Old Man Shouts At Cloud here

This is the way to look at Joe Manchin. He is an right leaning independent. You should expect nothing from him, EXCEPT that he caucuses with the democrats. And that is all that matters. To get our numbers higher.
