    Any third party player is a negative to Biden right now, even if it is “just” Manchin.

    The election is won and lost on the 10% of independents within purple states, and this ‘coalition’ would batter left-leaning independents with ads

      How fucking stupid would those voters have to be though?

      Nearly every answer to “Why didn’t Joe Biden do/fix X?” is either a) Republicans or b) Manchin and oh look who makes up this “unity” ticket.

          This. No swing voter is informed or committed ideologically to anything. Whether or not that was the case in the past. These days it is impossible. They just waffle back and forth from one choice to another. Trying to get the best outcome for themselves personally. And if they don’t feel you’ve done enough for them personally. They’ll waffle back to the other side.
