    I mean, he didn’t have vote on any of the judicial nominees prior to his switch, so I’m cautiously optimistic that won’t change. Bernie’s also an independent, mind you. (And that’s as far as I can ever compare those two people lol)

    But yeah, Justice is going to be interesting. He’s got so much liability he’s sure to be bought up almost immediately (if he isn’t already).

    Glenn Elliott seems decent (for WV standards, anyway) and has a shot against Justice, but I’m not super confident nor willing to get my hopes up.

    I’m more worried about Morrissey than anything.

      Yeah, Manchin is obviously a grifter with a lot of oil/gas backing. Dude sucks. I just always take a shitty option with some benefit over the entirely shitty option. The congressional math is tight this year and if Trump gets back in, it’ll be our only possible last check (even if we’re likely fucked regardless).

      I’m with you though, hopefully it doesn’t matter. I would be over the moon to see yall re-elect a Dem (even a blue dog) over the possible alternatives, but I’m not holding my breath. Either way, I’m wishing the best for you all.
