DU Jury Question? [View all]

I refused jury duty on a post that was a backhand compliment to Joe Manchin following Manchin's insults against Joe Biden on 11/4/22 about Biden's coal stance.

I think the poster broke the rules, but not the spirit of the rule.

At what point do we give a poster a pass on venting against an elected D who goes on a personal attack against another elected D (Biden) on an issue where most Ds agree with the attacked D? Of note, Manchin is not currently in a partisan campaign for re-election.

Of note... lived in WV in the 1990s, voted against Manchin in 2 primaries (governor and sec of state). I agree he's the best we're going to get for WV right now. But I also think Biden is the best we've got right now until a Bidenless or competitive primary starts, so there's also that.
