Yes, that’s part of the problem. You’re overbuilding that swamp and it’s sinking, and the runoff is poisoning your precious Gulf of America. Gulf of Red Tide more like. Nature doesn’t really care the GOP wants to live there, does she? She’s sending those hurricanes anyway. And you can keep rebuilding forever, some people can afford it. Most people can’t. |

It’s kinda funny when people say “Congress” — like it’s not about the Republicans deliberately destroying the country. I never ever thought I would admire Rand Paul — even for a second, but at least he’s been forthright about the issues surrounding Trump’s Tariffs. |

EXACTLY. Democrats have nothing to offer to working class Americans. Democrats have NO leader. All they do is HATE the President. So SAD. |

Why do we have to always elect idiots? The Democrats were out of touch and overly focused on stupid issues like identity politics which pissed a lot of people off and helped Trump get elected.
Now we have Trump who is even worse. I’ve been wanting someone middle ground for a while. So tired of the left-right extremists |

You're a big part of the problem. |

How does that work? Who would initiate a recall? (I’ll Google it, but I would also appreciate helpful responses. ) |

Let’s see all that good news today with the DJI down 1362 so far and Stelantis announcing it’s closing 2 plants for 2 weeks (the max allowed by the union contract without triggering prior notice rules) and all suppliers for those two plants being completely screwed.
Ford and GM are next. The formal start of the Trump Depression. |

No, they really were not. But the Rs did a good job of painting them as such and then backing them into corner about it. |

| Well then they shouldn’t have run a truck full of hand granades for president. |

DP. Why is the PP a big part of the problem? If Democrats would focus on the economy and stop fighting battles on fringe issues, they will win in 2026 and 2028. They just can't let go. |

Keep telling yourself that. Bill Clinton successfully moved to the middle. Why can't Democrats do that today? |

I found the fake news in this thread, and it’s here. There’s a reason that states with robust laws allowing for recalls of state and local elected officials cannot have those for members of Congress. “You want to know whether voters in a state can recall a member of the United States Congress. No, they cannot. Any attempt by a state to recall a member of Congress is prohibited by the Federal Constitution. A vacancy in the office of U.S. senator or representative can be created only by the incumbent's death or resignation, the expiration of his term, or some direct action of the body (the Senate or the House of Representatives) which is empowered to expel members (Burton v. U.S. 202 US 344, at 369). There is no constitutional authority to hold a special election that would be required to fill a seat in the event a member was recalled. Article I, section 4 of the Federal Constitution relating to the time for holding a regular election and Article XVII of the Amendments on holding a special election only when a vacancy exists combine to preclude an election to replace a member of Congress who had been recalled. Federal constitutional provisions supersede any state recall procedures for these offices. The details of the argument are included in the attached Brief on the Constitutionality of the Recall of United States Senators and Representatives In Congress, prepared by Hon. Walter F. George, Chairman of the Committee on Privileges and Elections, United States Senate, on May 18, 1935.” https://www.cga.ct.gov/PS98/rpt%5Colr%5Chtm/98-R-1540.htm#:~:text=You%20want%20to%20know%20whether,prohibited%20by%20the%20Federal%20Constitution. |

Republicans literally spent $300,000,000 on ads about trans people in 2024. How much did the Dems spend on the same issue? Meanwhile, Kamala Harris told everyone that the tariffs would be a 20% sales tax on consumers. Who is really focused on the "fringe issues"? |
