You know what? We do have to vote harder in 2022 than we’ve ever voted before. We have to vote in these midterms like the very fate of the Earth is at stake. Because it pretty much is. We have to spend the next 112 days working our asses off to make sure that Sen. Joe Manchin is kicked to the curb by a Democratic majority big enough to end his reign of terror.
The West Virginia Democrat and the fossil fuel industry’s primary representative in Congress isn’t on the ballot officially this cycle, so we can’t actually kick him out. But we can make him irrelevant. We can elect a Senate majority that will cast him aside, end the filibuster, pass vital legislation to save the planet and all of our civil, voting, and reproductive rights, and maybe even restore the Supreme Court. We can get a big enough Senate majority to demand he step down as chair of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee—he’s already being challenged there by colleagues!
x We have an opportunity to address the climate crisis right now. Senator Manchin’s refusal to act is infuriating. It makes me question why he’s Chair of ENR. — Martin Heinrich (@MartinHeinrich) July 15, 2022
We can get a majority big enough that he becomes a pariah and the only person willing to sit with him at lunch is Maine Sen. Susan Collins.
Donate now to give Democrats a true majority in the Senate give Joe Manchin the boot.
