MISidentifies works better. Engaging in false equivalencies undermines his claim as does his imperviousness to fact based rebuttals of his misinformation laden posts.

Why then, when B4 self identifies as an independent you keep lumpin' him in with a Trumpin'

And why weren't Trump and the GOP responsible for the following, why aren't Biden and the Dems given credit for, I dunno, ALL of it? Rural electrification? I'm pretty sure that FDR was a Dem.

West Virginia to receive $1.21B in federal infrastructure broadband funding

https://www.newsandsentinel.com/news/business/2023/06/west-virginia-to-receive-1-21b-in-federal-infrastructure-broadband-funding/

The $1.21 billion for West Virginia is coming from the NTIA’s Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program for broadband expansion through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, with more than $42 billion in funding to be distributed nationwide by the NTIA.

Manchin attended Biden’s broadband announcement at the White House, receiving a shoutout from Biden.

“I’d like to thank Joe Manchin, standing all this time,” Biden said. “He’s a friend. Hi, Joe Joe.”

Later Monday afternoon, Manchin held a virtual briefing with reporters joined by Department of Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo. Manchin compared Monday’s broadband announcement to the efforts in the 1930s to expand access to electricity to rural America.

“I heard my grandparents talk about rural electrification back in the ’30s after (President Franklin) Roosevelt got elected and maybe 10% to 15% of West Virginia had electricity because we were so rural,” Manchin said. “With that rural electrification, it changed people’s lives. It really did. The same thing’s going to happen with this. And that’s why we fought so hard.”

Raimondo said states can begin submitting their BEAD plans as early as July 1, but no money can be allocated until the Department of Commerce approves those plans. The state Department of Economic Development has been working on its BEAD plan since last year. States will have 180 days to submit their initial proposals.

“This is a huge day for West Virginia. West Virginia will be receiving more than $1.2 billion, which is enough money to finally connect every resident of West Virginia,” Raimondo said. “In order for us to approve the state’s plan, we need to be convinced that everyone will have internet at a price they can afford … we are putting a lot of pressure on the internet service providers.”

Dems, like repubs now just flat ignore the will of the people.....Back to 70% didn't want the rematch and on to the list of issues that most concern the people of the country, not the parties agendas......

On either side if you you speak out in any type of independent fashion, the tribes consider it blasphemy.... Lol....Parties have become religion and we all know the problems that can cause.....

Anyhoot, thanks for the support 'you trumpian bastard you' ;) If they can cherry pick your words (and you would want a Gavin Newsome) they can and will do it to anyone who doesn't align with their extreme views.....Thats on them, but the cost will be paid by all....

He could self identify as a heterosexual Martian and it wouldn't make it so.

Sadly, for me, B402 has continued to fail to support his claim of independence in every which way he possibly could. How else to form an opinion of the guy except by his posts. He has claimed positions totally consistent with our own on such as wealth distribution, yet has never once, that i can recall, ever criticized the GOP which is most responsible for that which he says he despises. Has he ever criticized the GOP or Trump in even one single post. If so I'd love to see it.

On top of that he has shit on the dems in virtually every post. To irrational extremes in blaming the dems for every ill of the American working guy. Repeat, In virtually every post.

An independent could not have posted for so long without a negative word about Trump.

"Why then, when B4 self identifies as an independent you keep lumpin' him in with a Trumpin'
Say he grew up in a Trumpin' type family, had to stay in the closet or was literally kept in a closet and fed under the door.
Are you not rubbing salt into that trauma every time you imply he's stumpin' for Trumpin'?.
One may get a sore azz sitting on the the non binary both sides fence but is it cause for derision?"

Say he had an unfortunate family upbringing as you suggest. He's old enough now to have grown out of it.

And he never ever has admitted he has been wrong, another indication of a conservative leaning. I'd love to see him posting as the independent he has claimed to be.

Aside: How about the French election now. The French voted against the French far-right in the end.

Lets see if B402 celebrates that as i am feeling at the moment. As any true independent would have to.

I'd be happier to see B402 openly celebrate the French rejection of the far-right than i
have ever been having to repeatedly see him leaving the GOP totally free of any criticism.
