Manchin Bloomberg if it means stuff will actually get done. I think McConnell has been the chief culprit in destroying the effectiveness of our government.

Manchin and Bloomberg are literally the exact same, so this is basically one party rule

This. I might actually be closer to being a Republican here, lmao.

I disagree. Bloomberg is socially liberal and economically moderate and supports most globalist policies. Manchin is more socially conservative, supports gun rights and less in favor of globalist policies. Bloomberg is also very much pro-environment and renewables, while Manchin is a coal supporter.

In such a scenario as the latter, Manchin would probably be more left-wing and Bloomberg more right-wing, at least on economics.

I'm surprised this is all you can say when this thread seems like an oremine for your "Blairite is actually far-left etc. etc." thing.

I like the insane belief many people have that people like Manchin and the old Blue Dogs were politically incorrect yet economically populist types who wanted an expansion of New Deal programs unlike those evil shill ring wing neoliberal effette obama dems who only care about PMC feels. This is a belief that can be quickly rectified, by um, looking at the voting record of the blue dogs.

I didn’t mean to suggest that Manchin is to the left of Obama ecomomically. I also don’t understand why Atlas thinks it’s impossible for someone to be for Obamacare but against abortion.

There's a reason why I answered "early 2000's Kucinich Dems" instead.

I mean, yeah, it's possible, but practically speaking there are very few actual socially conservative economic leftists around (especially in the atlas understood variant). They were the wreckers during the obamacare era! People like Max Baucus and Ben Nelson were essentially right wing shills, not the William Jennings Bryan radicals people hold dear in their imaginations.

I'm forced to go with Manchin vs. Bloomberg to get rid of the insanity wing of the GOP, even if it means also getting rid of FF leftists.

Manchin’s own shift on Obamacare is telling. In his 2010 campaign, he promised to repeal “the bad parts of Obamacare”, but in 2018, with the ACA having proven to be far more popular in areas like WV than it seemed in 2010, he ran on a full-throated defence of it.

Joe Lieberman, who killed the public option is a very good example of this.

The only meaningful difference between Manchin and Bloomberg is guns and maybe abortion.
