Why Was There No “West Virginia Summer” Campaign?

Unknown (3)

Climate activists and Democrats are sitting back and taking it from Manchin, as if there were nothing they could do to push back.

They could mount a campaign in West Virginia.

They could talk directly to Manchin’s people. They could revive the rich radical labor history of West Virginia, on the 100th aniversary of Blair Mountain!.

The federal government could create thousands of new jobs. The federal government could pump billions of federal dollars into the state.

Corporate Delaware Joe “Hill” Biden could even bring them sandwiches!

Bobby Kennedy visited Appalachia in 1968 to talk about poverty and development.

Why do you think Manchin installed his wife as head of the Appalachian Regional Commission?  To stop any of that from happening.

You remember the Civil Rights Movement’s Mississippi Summer campaign?

Could you imagine Dr. King telling Civil Rights Movement activists to stand down and “support democrats” and “boldly negotiate” while he met privately behind closed doors with LBJ to “negotiate” the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts?

Or LBJ tolerating a rookie Senator from a small right wing state (Sinema) to dictate the National Political and Policy Agenda?

Why wasn’t there  a “West Virginia Summer”? Manchin signaled his sandbagging intent long ago – so there was plenty of time to plan a campaign.

Biden and the Dems and the climate activists did not and are not doing any of that. WTF are they doing? I see plenty of tweets from the Squad and I get tons of aspirational emails from Bernie.

They are all corrupt, cowardly, and incompetent.
