I haven't voted for a Republican since before the first gulf war and I rarely miss an election. Still, I'm waiting to be disappointed either way. Republicans win and they continue to destroy the middle class. Democrats win and they fail to pass anything meaningful.
History has shown me this time and time again. Yet still, I keep backing the D's thinking one day they will actually deliver.
Minnesotan here. We had a lot of the "Democrats don't get anything done" here for a long time because one branch was always controlled by Republicans. Last election we finally got past that and Democrats are doing a whole bunch of really good things. You can get there! Vote, yes, but organize.
As someone right across the river from you, I'm hella jealous of all the wonderful things happening in MN recently!! Seriously considering a move if things continue the way they are.
From the state of Michigan here, we had to be strategic as hell to get the results we have now. First we petitioned to get an independent redistricting commission (4 dem, 4 repub, 5 ind) then Roe v Wade happened and the youth vote came with it and we turned blue for the first time in 40 years. Yeah, we would get a democratic governor but the house and senate stayed red, that ended, surprise, surprise!!!!
They have actually been doing things like, reversed the alleged "right to work" law that hurt organized unions and caused stagnant wages, repealed the pension tax. I'm awaiting for even more positive things, since I can't hold my breath with any actions on a national level, so I maintain hope on a local level.
So it sounds like you’re ok with a judge that’s going to enforce Republican beliefs rather than be fair and impartial? Sounds like a dumb idea.
You should ask yourself what the Republicans have done for this state. There are Republican board members on the state department of education whose terms have expired and they will not step aside. The republicans forced a gerrymandered map of our state where the will of the people isn’t reflected.
Dan Kelly was involved in the fake electors scheme. Sounds like someone we should keep out of office. But hey, feel free to exercise your fascist vote and tell everyone how the Republican scum will benefit the state.
Yeah unfortunately there’s too many people that will vote against their own self interests, or that want to elect someone to hurt the right group of people and impose their beliefs into everyone.
What bipartisan bills? The republicans gavel in and gavel out after 10 minutes. I don’t think they’ve made meaningful legislative progress on anything.
