• Sen. Joe Manchin earned $500,000 in 2020 from his son's energy firm, which Manchin founded in 1998.

• He's also the chair of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, which regulates the industry.

• He's received thousands from Exxon lobbyists and Republican oil and gas titans.

Pretty much everyone in the Senate and House gets money from all types of lobbyists/industries. Many are  weathy and so have all sorts of financial interests. Manchin isn't unique.

Priaptor made a good point: he represents a state dependent on coal and fossil fuel industries. His role is to represent his constituents. 

One could argue he should be helping his state by leading an orderly transition away from fossil fuels. But that is sort of a different argument.

You can't surprise me, that's possibly the best thing about most conservatives.. x-D

 

Not really insightful.

In the US there are true Conservatives and Libertarians, and there are Republicans - who claim to be Conservatives, but today aren't really. They seem to have become just sort of an "anti-liberal" tribe. I can't see any coherent world view there. It seems to have become mostly a party concerned with culture wars.

 

Priaptor seems to be a consistent member of the first group, which has the virtue of having a logical  world view. In some instances people with that POV agree with people on the left, but for different reasons than the left has, and their solutions will be different ones.  You can disagree with that POV, but it can't be simply dismissed as lacking in insight or understanding.
