I think in general that it is wrong for a politician to switch to the other Party right after being elected on their current Party's dime. Donors donated money on the premise that they would be helping a member of their team win.
But, since the DNC chose to secretly spend its donors' money on pro-Trump candidates in the primary, I would make an exception if Manchin did it.
Manchin should switch parties for the good of the nation, but why hasn't he? I don't believe that he is a "conservative Democrat." Democrats don't allow deviation from the Woke Party Line. The Party allows him to pretend to be conservative to win in WV, and to pretend to be a thorn in their side in the Senate for a while before he "gives in."
They can keep him.

The absentee ballots still have to be postmarked by 5PM on election day.Here it is, fuck face....Warnock will be awarded the "win" 4-5 days after the polls are closed and they know how many votes they need to steal the election...

That doesn't cut shit....Who runs the post office?
This guy
Louis DeJoy - Wikipedia
On May 6, 2020, the USPS Board of Governors, all selected by Trump and confirmed by the Senate,[28] announced DeJoy's appointment as Postmaster General and CEO, despite concerns about conflicts of interest.[29][30] That day, the National Association of Letter Carriers president Frederic Rolando congratulated him on his appointment but warned of politicization of the USPS, writing: "Keeping politics out of the Postal Service and maintaining its independence is central to its success."[31] DeJoy did not go through the normal vetting process for Postmaster General; two separate search firms were used by the USPS board, and neither firm mentioned DeJoy in their list of candidates.[32]
While he divested shares in UPS and Amazon before taking on his role, DeJoy drew scrutiny for not divesting from his $30–$75 million equity stake in XPO, a subcontractor for USPS. Under his tenure as Postmaster General, USPS has increased its business with XPO.[33] Additionally, when DeJoy sold his Amazon shares, he purchased stock options in Amazon that represent between 20 and 100% of his prior holdings.[34][35] USPS prioritizes Amazon package delivery.[17]
DeJoy is the first postmaster in two decades without prior experience in the United States Postal Service.[2] Upon assuming office on June 16, 2020, he began taking measures such as banning overtime and extra trips to deliver mail, purportedly to reduce costs. He did not communicate the reasons for such changes within the organization,[17] and such measures also resulted in slowing of the mail service.[36][37][38] Congressional Democrats called for the measures to be rolled back.[39] More than 600 high-speed mail sorting machines were scheduled to be dismantled and removed from postal facilities,[40] raising concerns that mailed ballots for the November 3 election might not reach election offices on time.[41] Mail collection boxes were removed from the streets in many cities; after photos of boxes being removed were spread on social media, a postal service spokesman said they were being moved to higher traffic areas but that the removals would stop until after the election.[42]
On August 7, 2020, DeJoy announced he had reassigned or displaced 23 senior USPS officials, including the two top executives overseeing day-to-day operations.[43][39] He said he was trying to breathe new life into a "broken business model".[44] Rep. Gerald E. Connolly, who chairs the House committee that oversees the USPS, said the reorganization was "deliberate sabotage".[39]
In a letter to postal workers on August 13, 2020, DeJoy confirmed reports of delays in mail delivery, calling them “unintended consequences” of changes that eventually would improve service.[45] At the same time that he was taking measures that postal workers and union officials said were slowing down mail delivery, President Trump told a TV interviewer that he himself was blocking funds for the postal service in order to hinder mail-in voting.[46]
I’ve seen enough. I’m calling it. 28 precincts with 95% im moved to Warnock. 12 have moved towards Herschel.

Knowing the state of the post office prior to DeJoy, that seems like a pretty good qualification to me.
Seeing the state of the USPS after he took over...I think not~

Sure, hindsight is twenty-twenty.
Are they all straightened up now, with whatever transgender affirmative action hire Team Biden put in charge?

Congress which makes the laws and gives out the money is in the hands of Republicans. As for judicial confirmations, is Joe Biden planning on inviting a SCJ down to the ranch so he also can end up with a mysterious heart attack?LOL! You do know that Congress is comprised of two elements, one being the House and the other being the Senate? You do know that the Senate is controlled by the Dems? You do know that the House majority by the Republicans is +9? You do know that judicial confirmation and cabinet appt.'s are solely the province of the Senate?
Thus Congress is divided--with neither party controlling it.
You should work on your ignorance of the basics of our govt. lest you continue to sound stupid~

Louis DeJoy - Wikipedia
DeJoy received criticism for his decision on February 24, 2021, to award a $6.5 billion contract to modernize the USPS fleet exclusively to Oshkosh, which had previously admitted a lack of expertise in producing electric vehicles and would therefore be unable to make good on President Biden's pledge to make the USPS 100% electric.[56][57] In addition, Congressman Tim Ryan has referred to the SEC a $54 million purchase of Oshkosh stock made hours before the contract was announced.[58] Biden then nominated three people to fill the four vacancies on the USPS board of governors under Democratic pressure. He does not have the authority to remove DeJoy.[59]
DeJoy and his wife currently have $30-70 million invested in companies related to the USPS.[60] He plans to further slow down first-class mail delivery, reduce post office hours, and raise postage prices--which would impact voters, families, and small businesses in several states.[61] With the mostly Trump-appointed USPS board of governors behind him, when asked how much longer he intended to stay postmaster general, he said: "A long time, get used to me."[59]
In 2022, DeJoy flouted instructions by the Joe Biden administration to electrify the USPS fleet. Instead, DeJoy put in a $11.3 billion order to renew the existing USPS fleet with mostly gasoline-powered vehicles.[62][63] The EPA criticized the USPS for the order, pointing to the environmental costs of the fleet ($900 million of damage over 20 years), the low fuel efficiency, and the short-sightedness of making a long-term investment in gasoline-powered vehicles.[63][64] In response to the backlash, DeJoy signaled that the USPS may add more electric trucks to the order.[65]

No wonder the Democrats are keeping him. He seems like one of them.
Why doesn't Biden's board of governors fire him?
