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.
