Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He’s probably in for a shock when he leaves the safety of his home state voters.
Yeah. A man who is hated by both parties outside of WV thinks he can win the presidency? As an independent?!
Manchin, you are no Teddy Roosevelt.
Teddy Roosevelt shat bigger than Joe Manchin
He would be more likely to upend trump. Maybe Manchin will finally officially switch parties.
Not just outside.
From whom Manchin will win votes is actually pretty interesting. In a race where most voters seem to vote against one person, instead of for, a third candidate could get a chance ... if said candidate wasn't the most universally unliked person on the hill next to Rafael Cruz.
Haven't read the article, but Manchin is running as a third party candidate? So now the choice is between two traitorous old geezers and a blander than mayo, even older, geezer?
Did you really spend all your "we can do it" energy on Obama? Can't you come up with a viable candidate with DOB in the latter half of the 20th century?
Manchin is pretty much hated everywhere, but Biden isn't exactly well liked either... Then again there's a large part of the GOP base that loathes Trump. So for everyone but the MAGAts it's a matter of whom you hate the least. WTF America?
Don’t forget Nikki Haley is still pissing trump off by not dropping out yet
