You can tell the politicians that have actual principles versus the ones that don't, by seeing who's fighting versus who is compromising and going along. Primary the latter: this is not politics as usual time, this is time to put it on the line and #FightFascism.

Speak it, Sister! Either #Democrats ovary-up or shut up. “I need more from you. I want strategy. I want fire. I want action so bold it shifts the damn news cycle — not fits inside one. It’s time to shift from panic to blueprint.” #LizCheney #Democracy #news
Anyway...
My “Why did you vote to be represented by people like that ?”
meant that it is unfair that they get angry with the #MAGA #Representatives
they knew who they were voting for (fascists)
if they want to 'get angry' they can only get angry with themselves for having voted for them.
Only #Democrats and #Liberal have the right to be angry.
ANOTHER BUILDING BLOCK IN DONALD TRUMP'S EFFORTS TO DESTROY THE UNITED STATES ECONOMY

"It’s unclear to me how much is getting through to opt-out voters, but some of the NYT’s most recent focus groups with Trump voters indicate that it’s not nearly enough."
To my ear, this sounds to me like a description of opt-out voters as essentially pro-Republican and pro-Trump. They don't care enough to oppose or even admit the singular harms the Trump regime is bringing us, which is another way of saying they're on board with those harms.
But as the spectacular failures of the Trump regime become more apparent, the opt-out voters appear not to be motivated to enage or to care:
"We’re 100ish days into the Trump Regime, and there’s no going back. Trump’s approval rating is at a historic low, but not as low as it should be given the damage he’s done. He’s losing ground, but again, the drops aren’t that dramatic."
Melissa Ryan discusses the "opt-out" voters, a phrase coined by Rob Flaherty to describe a group of voters who have opted out of participation in political life. Flaherty thinks these voters decided the 2024 election.
These voters are ostensibly neither Democratic-leaning or Republican-leaning. They claim to have decided just not to care.
Time to call your reps today! Find more ideas at https://www.5calls.org/
* GOVERNOR: Oppose Trump's police state tactics
* SENATE: Oppose DOGE Ally Frank Bisignano as Social Security Commissioner
* Oppose funding cuts to NPR, PBS, and NIOSH.
* Trump MUST return Abrego Garcia to America as per the Supreme Court Ruling and stop his human trafficking operation.
* Speak out against Trump's corrupt attempt to attack fundraising platform Act Blue.
* RFK and Hegseth MUST resign. Hegseth is a security risk and RFK is going to get people killed with his anti-science lies.
