@ATLeagle @mekkaokereke The premise here is that the DNC (ok... not them. The *real* DNC that controls everything in smoky backrooms) is the reason there isn't a progressive anti-coal candidate in WV to replace Manchin?

At the start of this decade, voters replaced a lot of conservative democrats (so called "blue dogs") with rabidly right-wing Republicans. In no small part a response to electing a black President (thanks DNC!).

The result was a dramatic rightward lurch in our politics.
