Ah, so senators don’t need to vote in person but everyone else does. Hmmmmm.

There is a very clear difference between a Centrist and somebody who does nothing. Steady progress is fine as long as progress is made.

Inaction means you are fine with the current situation. The people who do not stand up to the bully are no better than the bully, and the people who think otherwise are deluding themselves so they can feel better about not helping.

I’m getting particularly frustrated that commenters are taking a very clear statement and manipulating it to put words in my mouth in order to think they’ve made a point. I’m not blaming you specifically but you are the straw that broke the camel’s back.

I can’t fucking believe wanting politicians to actually make the world a better place would be so fucking controversial.

Says the brand new account that has only posted politics and flames everyone they see. Either make an argument or get out.

The problem as I see it is that you and the other posters here have fallen for the moving goalposts. “Shit is ok - at least it isn’t vomit.” That is such a poor and defeatist mentality to have. It isn’t a bad thing to want more. Don’t be OK with “the lesser of two evils”. Fight for at least one good candidate. Hold your party accountable for choosing awful candidates that don’t have the people’s best interests at heart.

I have voted for the lesser of two evils, and I will continue to do so. That won’t stop me from asking for better, and it will not change my mind that inaction in a bad situation is no better than doing bad things.

That is one hell of a conclusion you jumped to. If you actually read my post you would see I am AGAINST inaction. Go karma rage bait elsewhere. This shit doesn’t contribute to the conversation.

Care to elaborate?

That is NOT true. Voting for a Democrat that does nothing is just as bad. Not only would they do nothing to reverse the damage, they have actively taken votes that would have been better used on a politician that actually cares.

A lot of people will blindly vote for the person with a D next to their name. The Democratic party is purposely not putting the best candidates forward. There needs to be more awareness of who the duds are and either vote them out or not vote them in.

With our tax money, most likely.

Fox claims they arent news, but entertainment. It is how they have avoided lawsuits for decades.
