His job is not to repair / resolve tensions. It could be his job to reveal tensions, but he decided he makes more money obscuring tensions.

It’s easier to understand Matt when you realize the only belief he really holds is that everyone should pay attention to what he has to say, and he’ll say whatever he thinks will accomplish that.

Wouldn't Manchinism more broadly just be keeping the status quo? How does that make any sense when calling for transformative policy? Of course it doesn't, but Y isn't someone you read for consistency or values. Just a hot take man with a fancy degree.

Love of fossil fuels is a West Virginia specific thing. There's no reason a Democrat in the general Manchin mold from a state like Nebraska would be a fossil fuel enthusiast.

Is the tension US politics, though? Because the path towards a better energy policy runs through our actual systems and structures. Which involves the swing vote being a Joe Manchin type. If you are pursuing an inside strategy, you have to use the system that is already there.

Good thing Yglesias is doesn't matter much. He's a guy who tweets, not a guy who decides. Knee-jerk contrarianism doesn't get you very far among guys who decide.
