Good riddance. He was a VERY hateful and spiteful person.

I know this is considered "wrong," but IDGAF any more than they do about what's truly "right," so: I hope they all start dropping like flies.

With the amount of dark money in congress “democrat vs republican” isn’t enough to assure a vote for common sense and human rights anymore.

Agreed - it's been that way all along, really. Dems just recognized the need to throw their constituents an actual bone once in a while, while Republicans were too self-centered to recognize how self-destructive they ultimately wind up being.

I'm hoping Progressives explode in popularity over the next few elections, and then manage to mostly live up to their potential. I don't care if they do it from within the Democratic party, or form their own - they just are the only chance we have for things to be right anytime soon.

wake up babe there's a new Good Republican

Currently 4 vacancies. So currently 218 Rep, 213 Dem, 4 vacancies. With the current hate for the Republicans even a strong right leaning district could potentially go left.

Could be 218 vs 217 after those seats get filled.

And that one would be Massie, whom they’ve fucked with so much I doubt he’s gonna do much to help them. Might not help Dems either, but even if he just votes present that’ll still hurt em.

we need two digit level republicans so we can clean house more generally.
