We should Logan's Run all politicians on their 65th birthday. 

[reuben]

Everyone of them gets a monument bigger than the last somewhere in Nebraska to sate their ego and then we launch them into space. 

[reuben]

INB4 Badger's "So much for the tolerant left."

[SixFeetDeep]

Yeah she’s awful and shouldn’t still be in office. But people shouldn’t be voting her back in either.

I hate it here

[CatoTheElder]

Remember when she cursed out some children for asking her to support the Green New Deal? Great times.

She probably doesn't.

As lockstep warped as this looks, political expediency dictates inclusion on this list least you end up on the wrong side of Nancy Knockers.  They know who butters their bread.  Eric Swalwell to FangFang: how my 'dictate' ?

I blame the other electeds who endorsed her more than the voters. There was zero chance of a Republican taking the seat, yet the party protected her and this is what we're getting now.

[mj2sexay]

You can remove 5 members of US Congress.  Go.



Honorable mention- Rand Paul

Lol, we get it, you hate liberty and small government principles.

[CatoTheElder]

She was very close to getting voted out. With that small margin there's plenty of blame to go around on both the party protecting its incumbent and the populace looking at her and thinking she would offer the best source for leadership out of the field.

One of the biggest struggles for the progressive insurgency of the party is how reliably the "base" will just vote for the person they heard of, in perpetuity, and getting them to do otherwise is like shifting heaven and earth.

Which is why I blame the voters.

I mean a excrement ton of manufactured consent goes into making them that way.

  SCOTUS just threw out the Texas lawsuit (or as Trump called it: "the big one").
