Holy wow, I am shocked my singular Dem Blue Dog voted against. But he should have been retired long ago and has done so much damage to the credibility of voting blue. Maybe he got rich enough and/or has health concerns and plans to retire. Maybe he had a change of conscience. Idk, but I'm so shocked he voted against, I don't know what else I feel about this, other than "that's better than nothing after all these decades."

Another one of those worthless do-nothing resolutions. They probably didn't even read beyond the title.

My representative is good, thank fuck

They are Democrats. Praising and enabling "law enforcement" while casting oneself as the savior from tyranny is part of the essence of the modern Democratic Party. It's those who don't who are the exception.

Honestly man it's time to examine the actual structure of the party you're talking about. It's completely locked down by a donor class that prefers losing a hundred time to allowing one victory for the left. There's more room for criticism of the forever wars on the right, even of it's only performative Tea Partyesque babbling about how they were mismanaged and a waste of money. Of course, the wars aren't designed to be won, they're designed to cripple regions economically to uphold dependency relations and make the MIC some money. And nobody like JD Vance or Tulsi Gabbard will really try to put a stop to that. Just saying even they are less unilateral in their support of our wars than the post-911 democrats.

Yep, letting Republicans take over will certainly help. I should know as someone from a state whose entire Federal representation is republican. We get some of the most egregious and stupid punishing bills imaginable past. And it's really helped us I'm sure somehow.

However I can't help but think that maybe voting is the minimum we should do. And that we should vote conscientiously and strategically to keep Republicans from elected office even if that means voting for a Democrat. But more importantly we should primary all Democrats and all republicans. Not just vote for who the inadequate ones in charge think is good. Vote blue to keep the Republicans out if we have to. But primary them all.

That's how you earn fascism.

I'm sure you didn't vote blue in the last election or the one before that.

So what's really changing?
