"Congress should proceed with caution on any additional spending and I will not vote for a reckless expansion of government programs," Manchin wrote in a statement. "No op-ed from a self-declared Independent socialist is going to change that."

Sanders Pens Op-Ed In West Virginia Newspaper Going After Manchin. Manchin Levels Him With Response.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) called out Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) in an op-ed published in West Virginia’s Charleston Gazette Mail on Friday afternoon over his opposition to passing Democrat President Joe Biden’s $3.5 trillion social spending bill.

The nearly 1,000-word op-ed championed the social causes in the bill, promising to take on the “greed” of others and making sure that everyone pays “their fair share of taxes.”

Sanders has tried to argue that it is wrong that Manchin and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) are opposing Biden’s Build Back Better agenda, writing, “2 senators cannot be allowed to defeat what 48 senators and 210 House members want.” However, Republicans control 50 seats in the Senate and Democrats only control 48 seats — although the other two seats, which are held by Independents, typically vote with Democrats.

Manchin quickly responded to Sanders’ op-ed with a statement that he posted to social media, writing that “no op-ed from a self-declared Independent socialist is going” to change his mind.

Sanders is not a socialist. He is a communist tyrant.

[LMAO]

It’s highly doubtful a Bernie Sanders sells in West Virginia

[bilo]

Manchin will sign on to the socialist programs the Rats want. He will sell his position on the issue by claiming he brought "fiscal restraint"  into the process. The end result will be the fed govt having control of children from before kindergarten till after college. They will then be able to guarantee they can indoctrinate the next generation to be good little socialists.

Joe Manchin Rips ‘Out of Stater’ Bernie Sanders for Penning a Pro-Reconciliation Article in West Virginia

Paul Bois 16 Oct 2021

The ongoing feud between moderate Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) heated up this week when Manchin blasted the “out of stater” Sanders for touting President Biden’s “Build Back Better” agenda in a West Virginia op-ed.

On Friday, the Charleston Gazette-Mail published a piece authored by Bernie Sanders in which he hailed Biden’s “Build Back Better” agenda as an “unprecedented effort to finally address the long-neglected crises facing working families.” Since Manchin has continuously opposed the bill’s high $3.5 trillion price tag, the senator from West Virginia interpreted the op-ed as a clear attack.

“This isn’t the first time an out-of-stater has tried to tell West Virginians what is best for them despite having no relationship to our state,” Manchin wrote in a statement shared on social media.

“Millions of jobs are open, supply chains are strained and unavoidable inflation taxes are draining workers’ hard-earned wages as the price of gasoline and groceries continues to climb,”  he added.

Describing Bernie Sanders as a “socialist,” Manchin advised Congress to “proceed with caution” when it comes to an expansion of the welfare state.

“Congress should proceed with caution on any additional spending and I will not vote for a reckless expansion of government programs,” he said. “No op-ed from a self-declared Independent socialist is going to change that.”

The Charleston Gazette has always been a leftist piece of garbage. I'm sure they were glad to oblige.

[Fishrrman]

I'll betcha that Bernie -- one of the laziest guys around -- didn't write that.
A staffer almost certainly did the honors for him.

Thank you, Clouds.
This should be said more often -- just about ALL of the [so-called] democrats are.
Yet even in this forum I see few members who have (ahem) "awakened" to that reality.

Of course that's the case. These politicians pay people to do this garbage. The best cure for these DCP disciples is lead injections.

Whatever could be the matter from so many that fought like hell to defeat the evil Trump and succeeded!  They get their way then spend the next four years bawling like babies because they got their ways!
Like they used to say, some people would bitch if you hung them with a new rope!
