Manchin on supporting socialist candidate with ‘good ideas’: ‘Are you crazy?’
The article page itself returned an access-denied/JavaScript-blocked message rather than the actual story, and I don't have permission to search the web for the content elsewhere, so I can't verify the actual details of this piece. I don't want to fabricate a summary based only on the headline.
Could you either: – paste the article text directly, or – grant WebSearch/WebFetch permission so I can retrieve it?
From the headline alone, it appears Senator Joe Manchin reacted with surprise/incredulity ("Are you crazy?") to the idea of supporting a socialist candidate, even one with "good ideas" — but I'd be guessing at the specifics (who the candidate is, the race, his full reasoning), so I'd rather not summarise without the real text.

Joe Manchin is a US politician from West Virginia who served as a Democratic senator and has often been described as politically centrist. The word “socialist” in US politics can refer to candidates who support a larger role for government in areas such as healthcare, housing or public services.
The story concerns a question about whether Manchin would support a candidate identified as a socialist, despite that candidate having ideas he viewed positively. The candidate, election and context are not clear from the information provided, so the specific political disagreement cannot be established.
