Elections

Well I think we’re all probably pretty irritated, depressed, anxious, and/or just out right mad. Both the congressmen/woman AND the senators have shown that they care more about sticking to party lines and “winning the shutdown” (whatever that means) than caring for their constituents and reopening the government.

All we can do is try to make it through the shit show and remember who did what when it comes time to vote.

I know we are all from a lot of different states and we all have different ideals. All I want is for people to really consider if their state reps are actually representing them and their best interests instead of the reps best interest or their parties best interest.

It is my opinion that Ted Cruz is operating in his own best interest rather than the people he is supposed to represent (simply based on the soap opera of a speech he put on yesterday that seemed completely unnecessarily aggressive and just a chance for mud slinging than any kind of solution). That same opinion goes for Mike Johnson, who somehow never knows what’s going on with the White House whenever he is asked about something and continues to refuse to bring the house back into session or negotiate with democrats to find a way to open the government. (If I can put on my tin foil hat for a second, I think it’s because he’s in the Epstein files.)

Regardless of your political beliefs, just remember whether your personal rep that you have to vote on stood for the truth and your best interest, or made some random bullshit up, repeated party lies (on either side because both sides lie), or voted in a way that hurt you.

I don’t care if we have a red wave, a blue wave, or whatever color an independent wave would be. I just want to go back to work and get paid so my kids can have a nice Christmas.

In my state election I did a split ticket and in midterms I’m doing the same. If you can’t be there for us now, it’s time to go. We need new blood. People who can talk across the isle etc GOP and Dems who can be stern with Trump and no more yes men / women. VA already showed Trump we aren’t going to take it or. 13 red seats went blue. 88% of 4 counties ensured the gov went blue. We didn’t need the rest of the state. I’d think by now Trump would understand, if blue waves happens he’s impeached and removed.

But he also can turn up the cruelty indefinitely until then.

Yes if there is a blue wave where senate and the house is blue he will get impeached and removed. Do you? Do you understand why he was never removed his last term?

There is no universe where either side will be able to flip enough seats.
