Well, that’s on Virginia’s 11th District. He was voted in with 274k, but only 43k showed up for the primary. People who call for term limits should try showing up when they have a say.
A lot of posters here are specifically ignorant of what national politics entails. They’ve got a lot of idealism and cynicism but not a lot of experience. Which is always the case. Boring reality is the opposite of clickbait.

This right here.
It pisses me off to no end how many people skip the primaries and then bitch about the candidate…
Speaking of which…
Today is Primary Day in Virginia!
Go out and fucking vote!
A lot of posters here are actively hostile to the suggestion that better turnout in the Democratic primaries will lead to better candidates.

It does upset me that our voting system is so obtuse; but not as much as it upsets me that people are so willfully ignorant.
Agreed. We should be voting twice every two years, not once every four, for national elections alone.
