can you imagine being a Democrat congressperson who actually wants to do something useful for people and having to listen to this? I'd probably just resign.
All resigning does is give them a greater margin to win votes by. We have several chances to win a tie or majority in the house and senate
Three house seats are up for special elections, two in florida and one in NY. If they all elect democrats, there will be a tie in the houde and any bill can be blocked.
Senate votes can be held without all members present, so making sure all democrat congress members always show up and always vote gives a good chance of blocking some bills
Also in 2026 will be the midterm and we can vote republican congressmembers out, as they only have a majority and not a supermajority.
What I want to know is: what does the vote of a Republican Senator cost these days? Can we start GoFundMe campaigns to get some things changed in our preferred direction?
Imagine being a republican congressman and jerking off under your desk to this while giggling?
Great, now I'm gonna have nightmares.
