Manchin will never support an end to his fat coal subsidies, and his daughter runs a pharmaceutical company. Best to look elsewhere, and get more Democrats elected to the Senate.
Did you write to Manchin? He is the only hope for getting the BBBBB passed, which is probably the only hope for any national climate action for another 12 years or more. There is nowhere else to look, and although we certainly need more Democrats elected to the senate, prospects are poor and what's more likely is loss of the Senate and House.
Americans do not support Democratic presidents once elected. Such presidents only have a couple of years to act. In the previous case in 2009 they only had 7 months. This time now we are down to a few months to get Manchin's support, and after that we will have surrendered our planet. Manchin is not objecting to the climate provisions in the bill. At least now, from what I heard, he said the child tax credit was too big.
