Democrats are going to ensure this guy defeats any challenges from the left and then stick him on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, because they need to replace Manchin with a new excuse for all the horrible things they plan to do

“Dissent must never lead to disorder” - President Biden.

From Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter From Birmingham Jail,” written in 1963:

“I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."

HORTON HARMS A WHO
While Horton the elephant bathed in a pool
In the heat of the day, enjoying the cool,
He heard with his ears, which were large and acute
A very small voice, high and bright, like a flute.
