If I'm employed as a bus driver, and I decide overnight that I'm just going to start working dispatch without approval, I lose my job.

We need a mechanism to remove representatives who have chosen to no longer represent what they did when elected. Or, we need to stop using representatives.

Recall elections are a thing, are they not?

He's also strangely against lab grown meat.. which I just flat out don't understand. It's unproven on whether or not it's even economically viable... and PA is famous for scrapple. So I mean.. calling anything else slop is confusing.

It's a well known fact that Republicans like killing animals. Just ask Kristi Noem

Do is he a piece of shit who lied to get into office or did he lose his mind after having a stroke?

Side note: continuing to run for Senate after having a stroke isn't bravery, it's insane.

His Israel support is likely all bought by AIPAC money. Our system has to get campaign finance reformed so badly. Money in politics has destroyed this country and made every politician have to capitulate to their donors or face primary challengers who can out spend them. A good example is last election when these tech bros straight up crushed Sherrod Brown who was merely skeptical of crypto. It’s the biggest obstacle to change.

Hopefully he'll end up in the same circle of hell as Kyrsten Sinema (if I remember my Dante correctly, this means that Satan himself will be nibbling on their heads for all eternity alongside Judas, Brutus, and Cassius).

Id like to see him have another stroke.
