    I think part of that is true and part of that is that they just don’t get enough votes to actually do things.

    Especially as just a Congressperson you can’t change everything all at once. You don’t have the same influence as a president. So you pick your battles.

    People here get disappointed they didn’t get enough done fast enough and then vote red in the next election hoping for faster change.

    Well, we got faster change. Never seen change as fast as this.

      I don’t think so.

      People not voting comes down to living through the last eight years and both parties doing nothing meaningful about the fact that you’re working 100 hours a week at three jobs and all you can afford is a roach-infested studio.

      Why would you miss a badly needed day’s pay?

      As for the folks who switched to vote Trump. That was the only option for change that they had, and they knew from experience how shitty Biden/Harris were. Of course they switched.
