Tuberville failed to mention that he’s personally prevented hundreds of officers from being promoted because he disagrees with a 2022 Pentagon policy.

    What’s the value of a party that refuses to represent the people they’re charged to, restructures the economy to let them ransack it for personal enrichment, remove rights from people, refuse to do their job, remove protections, allowing businesses to run roughshod over the people, and manufacturing a panic about CRT, ANTIFA, immigrant caravans, Jewish space lasers, stolen elections, Trans people?

    Wouldn’t replacing that with a party that represents voters better than the Democrats - let alone the Republicans be nice? It’s not as though the GOP is even popular - it’s only gerrymandering that gives them a shot at power - when did they last win the popular vote in a federal election?

      That people votes for them, and we cannot remove them because we dislike them.

      No, because only the voters can decided who represents them, not us.

      Majority? No. Popular, yes, its just wrong to say otherwise. They still get 10s of millions of votes.

          That is not how a representative legislature works. If it were just about majority rule than the executive and the legislature would be put in one office that is elected by a simple majority.
