Andrew Cockburn reports on the deep corruption of Joe Manchin and the sordid history of West Virginia politics. Joe Manchin may be the poster child for obstruction of the new New Deal, a bulwark against progressive reform. But he also serves as a useful excuse for the Democratic Party, fronting for an establishment that has long recoiled from the progressive politics of the Charlotte Pritts and Kendra Fershees of this world, yearning instead for the bipartisan embrace of a merciless enemy.

"You have something special and important here. Somehow you manage to teach and suggest and introduce the reader to concepts in a way that feels inclusive. Like, we're thinking about it together. Partly it might be because the subject, bottom-up, is innately understood by all of us and so it feels like you're stirring up stuff we already know. But also I think it's because you truly are practiced at connection consciousness and so it's natural for you (I'm guessing) to write about it with a desire to include us. As a reader I was learning more because it feels like you're inviting me to think with you."
