Serving rich donors
vendredi 22 janvier 2021 à 01:00When Senator Manchin opposed stimulus payments to Americans, it wasn't because his constituents in West Virginia would disapprove if he supported them. Progressives played an ad on the radio in West Virginia criticizing his stance, and he changed it on the double.
I think this shows that his motive for opposing them was not a matter of appealing to voters, but rather one of satisfying rich donors.
