    As if she’s not one herself? The majority of her votes in office were in conjunction with Trump’s agenda.

    The problem with America isn’t that they’re electing idiots, it’s that the elected have nothing in common with their electors due to their fundamental class antagonisms.

    It’s just liberal democracy. Replace it with proletarian democracy and you’ll be amazed at how few “idiots” make it through

      Don’t turn this partisan. The people that pay for our representatives want them to be idiots and don’t care what party they are on. For example in Illinois I’ve got this piece of shit begging me for donations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brad_Schneider The key here is that he is indistinguishable form the person he beat, the only difference is red vs blue. His actual policies are “moderate,” i.e. status quo. e: I’m not even in his district.
