    Yeah, they’re too busy handwringing, crying about how little power they have, and bitching because their constituents keep expecting them to stand up against bullshit like this.

      I just sent an official email on my weakass Democratic Representative’s website (which looks like it was built by a 6th grader for a class project) telling him that i expect courage and strength from him during this Civil War, and that i will be closrly monitoring his votes. If i see a single vote for ANY Republican legislation, i will be strongly and enthusiastically supporting his primary opponent.

      My senators are treasonous and corrupt Republicans. They deserve a rope.
