    Republican legislators keep getting away with awful shit. I don’t see there being a change whenever they vote for extremely unpopular bills because they have an R next to their names. In the eyes of the average brain dead voter, that’s good enough to keep endorsing them every time they drag their dumb asses to the poles. Ted Cruz should’ve been primaried after abandoning his constituents for Cancun during a snow storm but he’s still around. Lauren Boebert should’ve lost her position after the Beetlejuice blow job but she’s still in Congress. MTG’s incompetence and bathshit crazy stuff she says about Jewish space lasers hasn’t cost her anything yet. I could go on.

    Meanwhile we have the DNC eating itself over anything that goes against the wishes of those at the top. Mamdani is practically unrecognized by the DNC establishment. Sanders faced the combined efforts of the Democratic party keeping him from getting a fair chance at the 2016 primaries. Al Greene was censured by his peers for rightfully calling out Trump on his Medicaid lies. AOC keeps getting snubbed in committee picks for geriatrics that die months later. It’s so hard to stay positive in light of all the shit that keeps going on. I really want things to change for the better but it’s so hard to keep holding on to hope.
