In what is a close race for the House of Representatives, many are pointing to one man as the deciding factor: Joe Manchin. Manchin, a Democrat from West Virginia, has been accused of deliberately sabotaging his own party in order to help the republicans win. He has done this by killing important bills in the Senate and stalling others, some indefinitely.

One such bill was the Democracy Reform Act, which would have ended Gerrymandering and given more power back to the people. He also stalled Biden's Build a Back Better plan, which would have helped rebuild areas affected by natural disasters like all recent natural disasters both natural and manmade. And as most of us know it is going to create numerous needed jobs rebuilding our infrastructure for the future. Manchin's actions have caused great frustration among Democrats, who are hoping to take back control of the House in November because just these two actions alone hurt democrats when campaigning.

So if the Republicans win, it will be thanks in part to JoeManchin. Let's hope he comes to his senses and realizes that helping his party is more important than hurting it. I have to wonder if Joe is confused about what he thinks he needs to do to get reelected in his State. I personally have family that came from that state originally and I believe he is wrong. I think West Virginians care about drug prices, Gas Prices, Abortion, and the environment, they breathe the air they drink water they care just as much as any of us, but I feel they have been ignored. Maybe if Senator Manchin talked more about what he can do for them with a democratic majority that is filibuster-proof without compromising their values then he could stop being the spoiler that he has been for the democratic party.

I believe as all these infrastructure projects that are about to come online that once they do more people will see that the democrats are trying to help them. And what they have been fed by the oligarchs through the republican party that they bought and paid for a while ago has been Bullshit since 1984. Bullshit on steroids since “Citizens United” says that money is speech which is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard

So there you have it, if we win in Georgia Joe Manchin is not so much of the deciding factor and I believe we will When it comes to Walker I have never seen a weaker candidate get so many votes which just goes to show that people do not care about the policies they care about teams and we need to change that. It's up to Joe Manchin to decide which party he wants to help and what side of history he wants to go down on. Will he do what's best for his state and country, or will he continue to sabotage his own party in the future? And as we know that only helps people in Joe Manchin's Tax Bracket. I think it would be wise for him to remember that. And so the Biden administration has been making all the right moves, Biden just may have the best administration in history. So all we can do is hope that Joe Manchin does the right thing and stops being a roadblock to the progress of this country.

People seem to be afraid Manchin will jump ship and I believe that is a real possibility. But Democrats should not fear that they should embrace it. By starting the search for someone to challenge Machin in his next primary and if he does jump ship the next election. I just do not believe he is as bulletproof as people think. The times are changing, even in West Virginia, I see it becoming very purple soon.
