1. I can think of so many horrible things that still rate higher than the GOP Congress. n/t

[Baitball Blogger]

2. That's what I'm saying.

People have finally caught on to their failed and disingenuous policies.

[Johonny]

3. yet Republican voters will re-elect them expecting different results

[turbinetree]

4. Not unless we, the progressive, liberal, party, of and for the people..................

get people to register and vote, no easy task, but it can be done from the bottom to the top--------enough is enough


These 245 clowns and the 55 other clowns are going to be taking another break-called Labor Day, now just put those two together (Labor Day and republicans) with there DINO allies and if it was not laughable, when can get rid of this gerrymandering more progressive voted that these right wingers and there supporters-----------and with the cencus coming up we need to get this country back in order quickly

Sanders got it right-------------------enough is enough

Honk-----------------for a political revolution Bernie 2016
Feel the Bern ----------------------------Yes, I do

21. The states have hijacked the elections, thus the Republicans win not matter who get the

majority of votes. The USA is a failed Democracy

[turbinetree]

22. This is why at the local level.....................

going to a town hall meeting, school board, and listening to what these individuals are doing starts to change this outcome--------------they cannot fight it at this level.
All it takes is one seat to have the majority----------one
And this is why especially in this election is important to get out the vote--------it's about the census for 2020, and the districts.
Florida is a prime example of how the voters yelled enough is enough and the republicans are twisting there hands together because the country and districts went to court and said these lines are not represented of the county, they can't hold elections until they are represented of the constitutes of the district, the legislature has been told twice by a court , get it together or we will .
Just like in Arizona, the legislature there is beating there right wing heads against the wall because a state judge and a federal court said wait a minute, your gerrymandering is illegal-----------that's how you win-make the field fair

5. Not exactly

At least not with the ones I know. In-laws, co-workers and a couple of "sort of friends".

With them it's about guns and their defective perceptions that repubs somehow keep them better protected from "thems" and "others" and all sorts of imaginary bogeymen. They equate any entity or concept, which contains the word "social" with some vague undefinable strain of communism or fascism. They all at least know someone who makes use of some social program(s), if not enrolled in one themselves, yet will vote, rabidly, every chance for the candidates who vow to end or make severe cuts to those programs. They seem to think, somehow, those cuts will not affect them and theirs, while screwing the "thems" and the "others".

[Uncle Joe]

6. Not if a different message can take hold and

straighten out their misdirected anger.

[underpants]

8. Gerrymandering and identity politics

That simple

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

19. so true

Dems get more votes but gerrymandering keeps them in the minority

[malthaussen]

7. And in 2014 it was about the same...

... nevertheless, 96% of sitting Congress creatures were re-elected.

9. Their (the GOP) handlers don't want effective legislators.

They've been cross-breeding and training this current crop for many decades. Unfortunately it is also crossing the aisle and affecting the dems.

When ALEC can write most of the scripts for all lawmakers the plutocrats will have succeeded.

10. Republicans: Getting elected on a campaign that says that government doesn't work...

And then once in office, do nothing to ensure that government doesn't work. Repeat process.

[gordianot]

11. Making sure government does not work is their only real talent.

Even the few moderate Republicans exact a heavy price for the slightest compromise. What would they run on if there was not continual dysfunction?

[Jamaal510]

12. The only bad thing

is that most Americans also happen to be suffering from Every Congressman Sucks But Mine Syndrome. Most rank-and-file RWers probably also disapprove of Congress, except for different reasons and are satisfied with their own Congressmen.

[RoccoR5955]

13. If we all get out and do our jobs

in getting out the vote, we can change the House, Senate, and Presidency in the next election.
We need people to be involved to win.

[d_legendary1]

14. Funny how these guys have low poll numbers

but they keep getting elected back into office. I don't know why but the phrase "He's my crook" comes to mind.

[Renew Deal]

15. Re-elect them all.

[Enthusiast]

16. Yes, Mr. Turtle, that means you!

[lonestarnot]

17. Bawl Bags and Turtlelook'nfreak sure now how to fuck up a functional government, ruin the

environment, and steal from and kill people. 81% should be 99%. 18% are fucking nuts.

[czarjak]

18. Please proceed...

[rladdi]

20. really, if American voted hated their guts, why are they continuing to elect a party that has

hijacked the US Government? WHY? Where is the competent voters in America, must not be voting.
