Not a fan of drawing comparisons between politicians and Hitler. But this guy was (claimed to be) on the same side as I was, and truly seems like a weasel.

And he's probably not going to run again. And he's flirted with 'flipping sides' already. And I think he does enjoy being one of the squeaky wheels of the party.

So fuck him. I hope we get 2 more Dems in the Senate so manchin and sinima can fuck off to whatever party they want.

You mean fuck off to whatever cushy consultant/media/lobbying job they want.

Coal Mine Kampf is just such great wordplay, I don't blame them for not passing it up tbh

You think both sides are the same as well right?

He is how I learned what a "partisan hack" is

As is expected. The only way to be elected as a Democrat in West Virginia is to be a Republican.

A lot of effort to go to to put an Alfa Romeo on the front cover and call it a Maserati ...
