Time to show up at their house?..
knock knock
Hi, your extended car warranty has expired, would you care to talk to your constituents about it? Pst… thats me.
makes awkward eye contact with them
One way ticket to criminal trespass I’m sure
K, but the laws don’t matter anymore to anybody in government. So, why would I care about a little trespassing?
So, why would I care about a little trespassing?
Because you’re poor, and laws still apply to you.
Nah, if they don’t care, I don’t either.
In the fine article people were at the home of their representative.
Across the street was the house of Rep. Carol Miller, R-W.Va. The imposing brick home was darkened, the curtains were drawn. No car was visible in the driveway. But for the assembled, it was a last ditch effort to get some kind of attention from the Congresswoman.
Through gerrymandering voters no longer pick their representatives, instead representatives pick their voters.
That’s why they don’t care about constituent’s opinions.
Though gerrymandering works best when people are apathetic, but if they are not it can backfire. I hope it will backfire.
The other way a partisan gerrymander can backfire is that there’s fewer truly safe seats. So a smaller shift can cause a wave election. Like, to squeeze every drop from a gerrymander, you don’t create 80% GOP, 20% Dem districts; you make several 55% GOP, 45% Dem districts. It doesn’t take as seismic of a shift to flip an aggressively Gerrymandered map.
My dad has lived in WV his whole life. He’s sadly been a lifelong GOP supporter but hasn’t fully drank the MAGA kool-aid thankfully. I say all this because he hated Robert C Byrd with a passion but I’ll be damned if Byrd or someone from his office didn’t respond to my dad when he wrote letters or called his office.
Now GOP voters can’t even reach the numbskulls that they voted for.
(Byrd was a Democrat, for those who needed the context like I did)
^^ Thank you - that is important context actually.
What were his thoughts on Richard Ojeda?
I’m not sure, I moved away before he became a politician and I’ve never heard my dad mention his name. Knowing that he supported the teacher’s strike in 2018 and ran as a democrat, I’m sure my dad didn’t like him. Like I said, he’s life long GOP just not MAGA.
Cunts voted for republicans and they’re surprised by this?
Have the day you voted for. You think they give a shit about you?
I came here to say something along those lines, but you beat me to it. I might have also made a passing reference to leopards.
I mean I generally like what my member of congress does, but same
Recall them.
