    I know this is considered “wrong,” but IDGAF any more than they do about what’s truly “right,” so: I hope they all start dropping like flies.

      With the amount of dark money in congress “democrat vs republican” isn’t enough to assure a vote for common sense and human rights anymore.

        Agreed - it’s been that way all along, really. Dems just recognized the need to throw their constituents an actual bone once in a while, while Republicans were too self-centered to recognize how self-destructive they ultimately wind up being.

        I’m hoping Progressives explode in popularity over the next few elections, and then manage to mostly live up to their potential. I don’t care if they do it from within the Democratic party, or form their own - they just are the only chance we have for things to be right anytime soon.

      Currently 4 vacancies. So currently 218 Rep, 213 Dem, 4 vacancies. With the current hate for the Republicans even a strong right leaning district could potentially go left.

      Could be 218 vs 217 after those seats get filled.

        And that one would be Massie, whom they’ve fucked with so much I doubt he’s gonna do much to help them. Might not help Dems either, but even if he just votes present that’ll still hurt em.
