I'd like to point out that the state has been blue since 1958 - both senators were Democrats from 1958-2015, and the Republican senator has only been there since 2015. Jim Justice was a democrat who switched parties in 2017; prior to that he was a democrat, as were the governors from 2001 until 2015. So to blame this on Republicans? Yeah, no. <eyeroll>

No one even mentioned republicans. As you point out, one democrat and former democrat were specifically named.
The D or R next to their name doesn't mean much, their political priorities say a lot more.

I was responding to their tone, which sounded to me like they were blaming republicans for the issues they're having. If the OP wants to say that he/she was NOT talking about republicans or democrats, then I'll be happy to say I misunderstood him/her. But I'm not certain how you know that's not what they OP meant?

Hey defrecore! You're looking a little defensive right now. I didn't say anything about their political party. But since you brought it up, maybe if the Republicans would stop sucking up to Donald Trump and Qanon then they might actually do something that will benefit their constituents. I'll bet that infrastructure bill would put some of those West Virginians back to work. OK? So now you can feel free to hit me with some sort of rant. Proceed

You didn’t have to. Don’t insinuate and then say that you didn’t. At least stand your ground whatever your beliefs may be.
The Democratic Party has exploited west Virginians for decades. Don’t blame its unfortunate situation on the last 5 years of republican leadership. Lol.

If the state is going down the tubes so bad and the only thing the Governor can do is to pay people to move into the state then I'm going to do more than just insinuate that he's an idiot. I'll say it outright. And it doesn't matter what party he represents because Manchin's a tool too. If you want to be a Jim Justice apologist that's ok with me but I think he's just another corrupt millionaire politician

You’ve got that right. Manchin is a tool. There you go say it out right. That’s what I’m talking about. Lol.
RE: West Virginia Will Pay You to Move There - jsd - 07-12-2021
Manchin being a tool is a bipartisan opinion.
