    I’d add… votes for Representatives are EVERY 2 YEARS. The next election to decide the House is in 17 months.

    That same election will decide 1/3rd of the Senate.

    Entirely too many people refuse to vote in off cycle elections. Sure, they show up for President. Rest of the time? Eh, meh.

    If you don’t like what Trump is doing, the answer is “Flip the House and Senate”. Take back control, put the grown ups back in charge.

      I vote every single year. Primaries for local offices were held a few weeks ago in my state.

      I have been doing this for decades. And because it’s a stupid group project things go to shit and I hate everyone.

      Like, if it were one of those projects where I could just do most of the work myself and keep the idiots away it would be great.

      But here not only are the idiots encouraged to participate, they are required to in order for us to succeed.

      So we just continue to fail.
