I completely agree that primarying Manchin means his seat will probably go to a Republican. That's what's called a risk. If you don't take that risk, Manchin won't do anything you want, effectively turning him into a Republican.
So you don't have standards.
It’s a risk I’m not willing to take. Had he lost in 2018 Biden would not be getting anything done and would not have a cabinet or get any judges nominated. Why don’t you see this?
I do have standards and they include nominating people who can win.
Biden isn't able to get anything done anyways. There really is no functional difference for passing legislation if you have 49 votes compared to 50, you still have to bend over backwards and let the GOP gut everything for even a chance of it happening.
