00045 Democrats vote with GOP to pass bill sanctioning ICC over Netanyahu warrant.
finitebanjoYou see that every single GOP votes with isreal 100% of the time, tho, so vote dem if theres no viable 3rd party in your district.
Here’s an idea. We all just stop. And loudly let them know they fucked up. Because rewarding them for this behavior is just going to get more of it.
KairuByteThis is why Trump got reelected.
Partially, yes. Clearly these representatives didn’t get the message. So the lesson must be applied again in their districts.
I’m in your camp, but I am also very cynical. I think your reasoning assumes they care if you do/don’t vote. They know that they have an army of rubes (both Republicans and Democrats) who will “vote blue no matter who” or whatever the conservative equivalent is. In the last 8 years I have seen many very intelligent people compromise on their supposed values because to do otherwise would be an existential crisis. I don’t know how you break through that.
House races can be surprisingly close. Either in the primary or the general depending on if it’s a “safe” seat or not. The one thing they really care about is being re-elected. They will notice, even if they win a tough primary for a safe district they’re not going to forget it. And if you manage to unseat enough of them then the message is even louder to the rest.
This is the way the game was meant to be played. Just apathetically voting for what’s in front of you was something the parties invented to make it seem like there’s no way to make change.
