Voting? What is this thing called voting?
Signed, almost half of America.

this mentality is stupid and short sighted and how we get even worse politicians over time. If you don’t care how people voted while they were in office and carte blanc push to vote everyone out regardless, there is also no impetuous for them to ever listen to you
like a Maxwell Frost or a Bernie or a Khanna are all in your get rid of everyone, and quite frankly “get rid of everyone who opposes trump” is exactly what the republican game plan has been for the last decade.

lol at this conservative saying their party was usurped. Your party has been planning this since Nixon. The party that controls congress is asserting themselves by passing legislation to make voting harder.

People don’t even want to vote out an almost dead rep or ones who are in a nursing home. Good luck

Imagine being so stupid you stay home when it mattered.
Smart people vote, stupid people stay home. Don’t let trumpers be smarter than you.

I mean, I intend to vote against the Republican nominee, so I’m doing my part.

I’m not sure the country will last until November.
Domestic terrorism by MAGA is ongoing, and now Trump’s stupid holy war in Iran makes the possibility of another 9/11 type terrorist attack very likely. Add to that the middle and working class being squeezed to death, the soaring gas prices that are already happening, and the growing realization that almost every facet of our lives is being influenced and controlled by degenerate, billionaire pedophiles, and eventually something beyond terrible will happen. They’re already building the concentration camps in preparation.
Those with power have to grow a spine, work together and DO SOMETHING.
Its also long past General Strike time, but I doubt that will happen. We’re all too atomized.

can’t even get the democrats to stop approving his nominees for fucks sake

Vote them out? How about they get FIRED for not doing their fucking jobs! I could use a cushy 200k job right now and I’m ready to fucking work.

This is generally why we have reocccuring elections, the challenge is getting a majority of people to agree and do the sa.e.

Vote all out. Small dollar donations. Don’t vote for any more corporate money.
It’s rich vs the rest of us. It’s not hard.

I hate this country sometimes, shit like this shouldn’t be hard to do.

We are well past the point that “voting this away” will work, and we all know it, but none of us are willing to die for that yet.
The silence before a breaking point is reached is always profoundly uncomfortable, as stresses pile higher and higher, until eventually there’s nothing to do but snap. Let’s hope it turns out better than history suggests it will.

The problem is they know this and now they want to interfere with voting more than they usually do.

If? That’s what they have been doing.

At what point do we just stop obeying congress’ laws altogether? They’ve clearly demonstrated that one half has abdicated their duties, and the other half seems to be sleepwalking us into further authoritarianism by refusing to act as actual opposition.
When do we all say “nah, I’m not obeying your laws anymore”?
Flight2039Down on
I’m pretty sure most of us plan to. However, they are 100% aware of that and will do everything in their power, legal or otherwise, to prevent that from happening.

Vote all out States included eliminate the party system and ,,,1 term all offices.

Voting individual Congress members out won’t really do anything to change the underlying rot of the two political parties. At a minimum, If money isn’t taken out of politics nothing will fundamentally change in the long run.
Lambzilla on
Voting is starting to seem too slow to impose the changes we need to survive.

> vote them out
Unfortunately for all, only left leaning ppl will take this seriously. So Democrats will be voted out, while conservatives will continue voting Republicans because why would they “unilaterally disarm” so to speak
Chemical-Fault-7331 on
Republicans and Neo-liberal corporate Democrats are the reason Congress is paralyzed and beholden to special interests. Big business has destroyed this country’s concept of fair representation.

Gotta love all the doomers coming out of the woodwork to say their rehearsed “you still pretend we are gonna have elections?”
Nobody asked you people’s opinion, thanks.

The problem is with the two party system you cant vote them out the party leadership gets rid of all their primary competition some how. How do you think schumer is still in office. No primary challenger made it to the actual primary for two cycles against.
MalHeartsNutmeg on
Here’s how I see it actually going: 33% absolutely guzzling MAGA chode and reelecting these people, 33% choose ‘not to interact with politics’ and 33% just infighting about how the candidate who isn’t a war criminal rapist pedo isn’t *quite* pure enough for them but they might just hold their nose and vote for them.
Meanwhile your country continues to show the world what a shithole country it really is.
