I can count on one hand the number of representatives who deserve to be there.
I’m just this guy, you know? Except on Lemmy.

It clearly isn’t helping, so why not save myself the ulcer?
Just a reminder: if these people win their primaries, which incumbents almost always do, you MUST vote for them no matter how much you dislike them or you’re a bad person
I’ve been doing the “smart thing” and voting blue in every election and writing y representatives and it clearly hasn’t worked.
No doubt, but it would require a huge effort across all fifty states and has already failed a bunch of times.
I’ll be dead before we have ranked choice voting. And I’m not even that old.
If the democrats are the best we can hope for then we are well and truly boned.
And how much longer am I gonna have to hold my nose and vote for an asshole I hate before they get enough power to mean I don’t have to?
Will I be dead before I can actually vote for someone I want to be in office? And even then will they have a stroke and start schlonging conservative dick?
Politics is a game designed to be so infuriating that most people rage quit.
I bet he’s a big fan of Wagner like most nazis

Silly goose, only progressives have to vote for harm reduction. Liberals can just go along with it.
There’s no “they” doing it. It’s a fact of the structure of the government and 250 years of cruft. We can’t not vote for the democrats, no matter how bad they are, which means they don’t need to care what we think.
We never get to step 2 because like clockwork they lose seats every couple years and we need those assholes just to keep a slim majority.
It’s been this way my entire life. Step 2 will never come.
In their infinite wisdom our forefathers gave us a winner take all system, and when you only have one winner you get a two party system or minority rule. It’s just maths.
Counterpoint: John Fetterman
Counterpoint: Kirsten Sinema
Counterpoint: Joe Manchin
Counterpoint: Joe Lieberman
Which has all happened despite me voting for them for the last 25 years
I’m frustrated. Democrats win and don’t get anything done because of republicans and then lose and don’t bother resisting the republicans.
Republicans make things worse, of course , but democrats don’t or can’t make things better.
Give the players and refs VR rigs and let them work from home
And what is the difference between them winning and losing? I’ve been voting for them for years and hating it every time and getting nothing but excuses.
And then yell at them in comment sections when the democrats lose to fascists again.
Here’s a non-paywalled local news site
And in PA it’s pronounced “LANK-ister” and not “LAN-caster”
So I just imagined a bunch of folks repeating “vote blue no matter who” every couple years?
And the folks ranting against non-voters are just bots?
