If the history of how American democracy ended gets written, I hope Joe Manchin gets his proper due
Earlier today on a key vote:
Joe Manchin has so much responsibility for the collapse of the Democratic Party in the last four years. He weaponized his key vote in ways that made the party appear chaotic, feckless, and unable to govern. Other things went wrong, but he is key to the party’s collapse. pic.twitter.com/bCCw5FyD73

And the effect of Manchin’s vote:
Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are about to receive pensions -- for being retired members of the Senate.

Yet they voted today to hand Trump full control of labor rules -- likely meaning the END of pensions for millions of American workers.
