Numerous families suspect their loved ones were deported based off ridiculous accusations their tattoos were gang affiliated, of which there is no evidence
The house is almost tied. That’s who passes bills, handles impeachments, some of the most powerful committees are.
218 Republicans, 213 Democrats.
Let’s see, take New York for example.
26 representatives total, 19 Democrat and 7 Republican.
5 of those were within 2 points last time their seat was up.
People who think that New York is blue, their vote doesn’t matter, skips the votes for the House and Senate and end up losing a Blue house seat but later complain that nothing changes are literally the fucking problem.
Let me spell it out for ya…
Every. Fucking. State. Is. Like. This.
Apathetic morons who don’t realize that the president is only held accountable by the other branch of government then wave their hands around when they did jack shit to help put people in place to, are the fucking problem.
District 3 of California was lost by 24,000 votes.
District 22 was lost by 3,000.
Those two seats in the house, along with the close ones in New York, Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Washington, hell every state… Are what makes the House of Representatives or breaks it.
So, if you think that your vote for president doesn’t matter, so you skip voting and let these other seats slip, yes, you’re a fucking moron who can’t grasp basic concepts of government that are taught in 4th grade.
And don’t get me started on the State House/Senates, how they define voting laws and voting zones and engage in gerrymandering.
This wasn’t meant to be a “gotcha!” but go reread the original comment. They don’t say “didn’t think their vote for president mattered,” just “didn’t think their vote mattered.”
It’s important because, as the oc pointed out, a lot of people end up not voting in consequential races because they abstain from voting at all. It’s a real problem, as we’re all seeing veeeery clearly right now.
Yup, the votes for the Senate, house, state Senate, house, board of education, all of those don’t matter either.
Narrow minded people sometimes. I swear
How to be right in any scenario, simply move the goal posts!
Wild take.
