(2,403 posts)The idea that the country can be held hostage by someone from another state is fucked up.
I dont have a better system at my fingertips but I am tired of not having any recourse with a rogue senator from another state fucking up national politics. The only thing I can do is fundraise and make phone calls for challengers. And I do engage in that but I am tired of watching this shit play out time and time again. I do believe good governance comes from healthy debate and that government shouldnt move at lightning speed but these people are not acting in good faith on the behalf of the people. They often times are not even acting on the behalf of their own constituents. The propaganda in this country all but ensures that people are going to vote for whoever hare the preferred party designation in front of their name. That coupled with citizens united has all but fucked our politics but ESPECIALLY the senate.
Damn I am just so fed up.
