@pmonks the solution is up to you to propose. Please specify what you're offering without referring to your opponent's agenda.
@RebelGeek99 @pmonks Offering a commitment to democracy that doesn't exist among the opposition isn't enough?
@RebelGeek99 @pmonks Count your blessings. Despite how I voted, my Senator is Rick fucking Scott.
@LouisIngenthron @pmonks oh dang, that sucks. The only upside there is you know who your enemy is. Many VBNMW types here blindly assume MGP is voting in Congress consistent with her original Bernie-lite platform from 2022 (free trade schools and women's healthcare). At least both my senators are relatively decent (Murray, Cantwell), those are much more powerful votes in the scheme of things, blessing counted.
@LouisIngenthron @pmonks I live in a Blue Dog district. I can vote Blue and it gets me a representative that consistently votes w MAGA on key issues, including censuring Ilan Omar, more war spending, more drilling, no student loan forgiveness, anti-abortion, against COVID spending, and against socialism (while having collected $60k in forgiven PPP loans). We all saw how Manchinema was pampered. Zero accountability or representation within a party championing democracy is not a good look 🤷🏻♂️
