General Politics Discussion VIII [ARCHIVED] • Page 565

Congress has an approval rating of like 12% and a re-election rate of like 88%. It's not my guy who's a fascist nazi, everyone else is the problem!

 

the parts of the media world that do this kinda headline were pissing me off for four years; now, it's got me on fire

 

It's the whole "I hate Congress....but I like my Congressperson" which is why we are stuck with these ghouls over and over and over

 

Trump's Georgia lead shrinks again - 12,764

 

-16 or something I think.

 

That is what I thought. I just hear more people talk about her in comparison to the other two.

 

Yap.

I kinda like mine though.

 

Trump did claim many times that there were 3-5 million fraudulent votes in 2016 and that claim never got anywhere in the legal system.

but he did win, so this time may be different

 

Must be nice. I've got Tillis and Burr in the Senate and Mark Walker in the House

Hey remember when we thought Burr was gonna be investigated for selling that stock?

 

hate to keep bragging but my congresswoman-elect is one of the 3-4 best elected officials in the country imo

 

but then i also have josh hawley representing me SO

 

Liz and Markey

 

And my own personal Rep is Ayanna so I’m never moving.

 

I am in the Dingell's District, which is meh.

 

When Ilhan is your rep, it makes ya feel good.

 

MarketWatch... a NewsCorp subsidiary. Same company that owns The Sun.

 

Oregon and Massachusetts probably have the best duo of senators. You’re lucky

 

I’ve got literally the most boring, bland, and/or centrist reps around. Coons, Carper, and Lisa Blunt Rochester.

Carper at least has been raising a stink in the environment ever since Trump won.

 

if he has been receiving 70-73% of the mail in, thats about 34k votes of the remaining 47,277, which is enough. hoo boy.

 

We just voted in mondaire jones who is awesome.

 

My rep is a Republican who just won his 21st (yes you read that right) term. Yuck.

And for senators, Booker is fine I guess but Menendez can get the fuck out of here

 

Hopefully not to sound too radical, but this is why I'd love term limits for the House/Senate.

 

term limits in the house/senate are a very bad idea

the end result is that rather than the expertise being held by elder members of the senate, it would be held by lobbiests who simply control a new set of play toys each term
