minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish12•9 months ago from an otherwise red state Not really, his voters overwhelmingly support progressive policies. It’s just no progressive has a chance in the primary with the party blocking all of Manchin’s primary opponents. It has been on a downswing lately tho. 2016 there was more D than R voters, and 2021 it got tied up. I do t know why everyone acts like all these “red states” are worth writing off, it really wouldn’t be hard if we actually tried for them.
minus-square@jscummylink7•9 months agoI don’t know where you’re getting there being more D than R voters in WV. The last two presidential elections went to Trump by 40 points
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink0•edit-29 months agoManchin is a senator, which means the election is state-wide, and West Virginia is a deeply red state. A Progressive candidate has 0 chance in West Virginia and any claim otherwise is quite simply wishful thinking. Let’s leave the Bernie Math in 2016
