Manchin's excuses for opposing the filibuster

And now even opposing using reconciliation. He's previously said that such acts are against bi-partisanship. That in itself is ludicrous, since Repugs have repeatedly shown they don't give one shit about working at all with Democrats. 

However in a recent interview his real reasons came out: He buys the Repug Big Lie about a corrupt voting system that allows voter fraud. And that Repug voter suppression is an acceptable solution. This is some seriously sick shit and we Democrats need to get him in line, and definitely campaign to get him out of the Senate. We cannot have anyone in our caucus that accepts the Big Lie which has been thoroughly debunked in the last election.

Manchin said: "The only thing I would caution anybody and everybody about is that we had an insurrection on January 6, because of voting, right? And lack of trust in voting?"

From the article: "Lack. Of. Trust. In. Voting. Not all the barriers and hurdles thrown in the way of voters who might just happen to be people of color and people more likely to vote for Democrats.[...] In other words, any voting 'reform' he will support has to make Republicans happy."
