Multiple Clinton supporters to challenge Bernie for his Senate seat

Whats the difference when Sanders supporters primary Clinton supporters? They're free to do as the like.

This.

Anyway this is dumb and a waste of time and money.

Are there a lot of Sander's supporters who are challenging incumbent Democrats in the primaries?

Im not sure how many primaries the Justice Democrats are competing in. The most noteworthy is against Manchin.

Manchin is the one Democrat I'd like to see facing a serious primary challenge.  I understand he supported Hillary Clinton in the election, but I'd hardly call him either a 'Clinton Democrat' or a 'loyal Democrat.'  He's a hopeless sinner who has dishonestly sold out the Democratic Party multiple times just to save his own.  

If I were advising his Democratic Primary opponent, I'd tell that person to go hard on telling West Virginians how he sold them a bill of goods that once President Obama was gone that thousands of coal mining jobs would come back.

I really disagree with this.

I don't care for Manchin either, but he is the best Democrat that you can get in WV and he votes with the Democarts on all the major legislation.

This is dumb.

Democrats need as many D's as they can get in Congress. Regardless of Manchin's fault, you can rely on him to vote for the big, important legislation, you are not going to get that with a Republican.

I find it hilarious that some progressives are up in arms about this. But are cool with Justice Democrats doing this.

That assumes we should treat all political movements/orientations equally. We shouldn't. Some are better than others; case-in-point: progressives are better than neoliberals, conservative Democrats, and all Republicans. With that said, however, I do disagree with Justice Democrats primarying potentially vulnerable Democrats in red states; even a Democrat like Manchin is better than the Republican that'd win if he lost or was damaged by his primary.

End result is still the same. Wasting time and money and potentially damaging the chances of winning/holding a seat.
