(5,068 posts)I am pretty attentive politically but I am not sure if a pollster asked me "are you for the For the People Act"? that I would connect the dots in real time. So maybe they asked something more akin to "are you for free and fair elections?" and interpolated. I somehow can't see Manchin missing a 79%er from his voting base. And I wonder if poll was of regular voters or a broader population and how many of total eligible voters in WV actually vote especially in non-presidential elections?

That's like the polls where a majority of republicons liked everything about the Affordable Care Act but HATED Obamacare.
I expect him to take care of something like that and get us moving.

So we are on our own. Organize now to try to keep the Presidency in 2024. To overcome the suppression, it will take a monumental effort in VA, NC, MI, WI, PA, GA, AZ to win as many states as possible to still win the electoral college if some state houses overturn the results.
There truly is no reason to waste any more energy on Manchin. It is what it is, a divided Congress and gridlock for a decade....we at least have to keep the Presidency out of Repug hands.

Also, I think we need to keep our eyes on 2022. A loss there makes 2024 much more challenging.
