I can't imagine what it's like to actually have your concerns represented in congress. I live in Georgia, and I think Obama is the only person I've ever voted for who's won. And that's including local elections. Doesn't feel very democratic when I think about it.

Yeah, your vote doesn't count for much when so many positions run unopposed in local elections.



Yeah, like that will help given how gerrymandered the districts in Georgia are.

Who was the idiot who before the election argued that DT would be a good President for LGBT people?

And then got all huffy when everyone pointed out it was just lip service and DT doesn't give a gently caress about anyone else?

Theoretically we can map out Trump's motivations and try to plot out his future actions based off of his core tenants which are:
-universal adoration
-make a lot of money
-gently caress Obama and Hillary Clinton

None of those involve disparaging any LGBT group and in fact you could argue that in order to satisfy the first point he would try to make every group happy. Unfortunately we didn't really count on him being *that* receptive to hateful poo poo being whispered into his addled mind

It's weird rooting for Lindsey Graham.

I was sorta rooting for Chuck Grassley until his loving committee passed a resolution to investigate Clinton/Comey/Lynch.

Grassley is the spineless jellyfish that prevented Garland from even having hearings, so in the end he is the man responsible for the GOP being able to steal a Supreme Court seat. No one should ever root for Grassley except for rooting that he has a heart attack.

Imagine the other option: I live in a deep blue state. My senator and representatives agree with me so thoroughly that phoning them would be about as useful as calling the Pope to ask if he's Catholic.

The only people who really have any influence are those in swing states, whose representatives actually give a crap about public opinion in their states.

I remember talking to a goon on the healthcare thread before the election who thought that Trump was bound to improve Obamacare rather than repeal it, because he wanted to be "popular" and throwing everyone off healthcare would be unpopular.

I'm not sure why people think that each time health care comes up for a vote that it will be the last time it gets voted on. Even if this "skinny repeal" fails they'll continue to try and try again until they get the votes.

The ACA was doomed ever since the results of the 2016 election came in.

if my kid had been writing to obama (and I had a kid), i'd let them do whatever the gently caress they wanted on the perfectly reasonable assumption that obama was never, ever going to see it and i was just indulging my kid, no reason to make them feel bad about it

like, maybe you use it as a trick to get them to care about spelling and such more, but you're not going to think it actually gets to the president so it doesn't actually matter
