Who do you hold a higher opinion of: Manchin, or AOC?

[TheReckoning]

Well?

[All Along The Watchtower]

The Queen from Queens.

[Mr. Smith]

The one who didn't raise a fraudster.

[John Dule]

I unironically like them both.

[TML]

The one who is not corrupted by special interest donations.

[Vice President Christian Man]

Manchin though he has some weaknesses. AOC is good in theory but panders to the far-left too much on social issues and was also photographed with Pelosi,  destroying her credibility of being anti-elite.

Yeah it's a shame that a Democratic House member was seen photographed with the leader of the....Democrats in the House.

[Xing]

One of them isn't completely self-centered and fraudulent.

[PSOL]

They both are equal in my eyes.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I unironically like them both.

The only reason I can possibly see for you liking AOC is that you think she's hot.

[Ferguson97]

I like AOC because she knows how to talk to people under 30 and I like Manchin because he is the only Democrat who could hold his seat.

[7,052,770]

AOC easily, but if you asked a different member of the Squad, I might say Manchin.

Either way, I respect the hell of out Manchin merely because we got 2 years of a trifecta because a Democrat was able to win in West Virginia of all states. Even when I get frustrated with him (which is often), I try to keep that in mind, and I sure hope he somehow pulls it out again in 2024.

I've decided that she means well, which is more than I can say for certain other Squad members.

His approval rating has almost hit 60% since Biden became president. I think it's quite possible that he wins again.

[Sir Mohamed]

The one that didn't derail BBB.

[Schiff for Senate]

This. I hate a lot of Manchin's views and his flip-flopping on positions depending on political expedience (there's an infamous photo floating around of Manchin claiming to be pro-choice one day and pro-life the next), but purely for electability's sake, I give him respect. In fact because of it I have a higher opinion of him than AOC (he represents a Trump+40 state literally no other Democrat would come close to ever winning; AOC represents a deep-blue safe seat in the heart of NYC and can be replaced by another Democrat when she retires).

[All Along The Watchtower]

The one that didn't derail BBB.

So neither?

[Fuzzy Bear Loves Christian Missionaries]

Manchin. 

Sandy Cortez is not to be taken seriously.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

AOC she helped Bernie in 2020 but too bad Reade came a month too late but didn't like her endorsement of Ed Markey, Joe Kennedy was the better person and many candidates would have campaign with him in future election who wants to campaign with Ed Market

But, hopefully, Ryan gets in he is good enough to Joe Kennedy

That's why Rs don't want Tim Ryan in he can help other candidates win look at him, never underestimate the female vote, the Female vote obviously went to Markey but Vance is very polarized and their vote can go to Ryan

That's why I always make a wave insurance map ratings can underestimate D support because of Minority and females not because of white men

I can make an R NUT map but Beasley is now tied with Budd, who would of thought that he's supposed to wipe out Beasley by 7

If Beasley can win so can Ryan  whom is a better candidate

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

The one that didn't derail BBB.

So neither?

Neither exactly covered themself in glory during that episode, but only one behaved in a manner that actually prevented one of the bills involved from passing.

I greatly prefer AOC, although there are a few elements of her shtick that do bug me, and I think she keeps bad company.

[President Johnson]

AOC. I'm not a huge fan of her, but she never single handedly sinked a major Biden proposal. Also, AOC is better on social issues and climate change.

[ingemann]

AOC of course.
