Joe Manchin came out and said he couldn't endorse Harris because she wants to gut or completely get rid of the filibuster to reinstate Roe. In the process, he said that the filibuster was the "holy grail of democracy."
This is so profoundly stupid, I don't know what to say.
I never hated on Manchin, because I understood that he was a critical vote during Biden's razor thin legislating. He represents arguably the Trumpiest state in the union. He's not Sinema, who seemed to glory in performative contrarianism. However, if there is any way that the Republican coalition collapses and we get the trifecta, not having to kowtow to that guy will be a welcome change.
