Personally I think it's quite hard to find complaint realistically with Manchin. He's just West Virginia as a person. I am fairly progressive, so I can't agree with his  voting record, but he doesn't represent me, and technically speaking representing WV's interest makes him a far better senator (since that's technically the senator's main job--representing their state at the federal level) than a hard party line senator who would more often give up the interest of their state for the interest of the national agenda. If anything it's more accurate to direct complaints for his errant voting record to being about West Virginia's politics which are pretty conservative. Nobody was really surprised about what he was either. He didn't lie about it more than standard, and thus not really fair to lump him in with the likes of Sinema.

Nothing says WV like living on a yacht and driving a Maserati.
