Why Send Clowns To Congress?

Post Reply New Topic

what kind of gov't would we have if it were mandatory that congressmen served just one term, were paid minimum wage and were banned from [on pain of prison] anything smacking of participating in any kind of quid pro quo.

I think it comes from a lack of faith in our current machinery of governments. We're seeing similar in the UK.

I think there's a growing number of people who have no faith in government to solve our problems or make their lives better, so they're happy to send disruptors and incompetents almost as a protest vote in the hope they'll trigger a structural change.

And then I think there's increasing numbers of people who see the very art of politics as duplicitous. Nuance does not exist. Compromise is suspicious. Changing course is weakness. There is no need to listen to any opposing viewpoints. They lost, get over it. So they are happy to send idealogues who have fixed ideas.

we have met the enemy and he is us. if there were more among us who were truly patriotic rather than just mercenary, these jokers wouldn't get anywhere near any levers of power.

And he was the biggest clown

desatan is the next biggest clown.

cruz is a bad joke. he wouldn't even defend his own wife against insults from trump.

the sociopathic ones seem to have taken over the party.

biden doesn't want to screw over the working class but the desatan clown [like the GOP as a whole] most definitely does.
