She’s trying to pull one of those moves where she gets elected as a democrat then switches affiliation once in office

Tulsi Gabbard never changed parties while in office. Hell, she was a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus until 2021. She didn't change parties until October of 2022

accusing its leadership of "cowardly wokeness, anti-white racism, [being] hostile to people of faith and spirituality, and dragging us closer to nuclear war"

And when you look at Israni's platform, it's nearly identical to Gavin Newsom's. Swalwell himself is a very neocon coded Democrat.

You can just... be in the Democratic Party as a Republican. It's fine. Jeffries and Schumer will let you do it.

It's on the voters to boot elected officials who don't actually align with the party.

In theory. In practice, well financed and media savvy candidates can lie with a big enough megaphone to drown out a rebuttal

Hell, Jeffries and Schumer are Republicans.

I Never mentioned Gabbard- but she is a good example

This really needs to be made illegal if it isn't already. Can we get them under deceptive marketing laws somehow? If corporations are people, then people can be products

Every single elected position should be eligible for a recall vote.

You should probably critically analyze the view that laws are the solutions to problems like this. They are tools of the powerful. When's the last time you saw some get busted for things that already against the law like corruption?
