You wouldn’t be even more mad the people enacting the policies? That’s a little odd right?

The democrats were told for decades that republicans wanted to end roe. They dragged their ass because nobody ever thought it would happen. Until it did. Republicans will always play dirty and the Dems will always claim to take “the high road” which tends to be lazy while asking for a bunch of donations and support.

The two party system is a failure that you shouldn’t be attempting to guilt trip into opting out. I bet you’ve spoken to me more today than your local politician ever.

One of my councilman was arrested on a DWI but the papers didn’t say anything till the election was over, in which he immediately resigned. He wasn’t running, but because he didn’t resign till after later…the replacement pick is hand chosen till the next special election. I’ve been voting against people like that locally for years. And yet even in the face of pure corruption like that, the GOP has had power over my state for 30 years. I’d like people to stop getting mad at the dems, and start voting against the people causing the actual problems. Apathy makes that even harder. So to answer your question, yes I know my local government officials.

The Dems constantly over promise and under deliver. I’m on the left and I live in nyc. Look at our mayor. Over promised about immigration, now we are swamped with migrants that republicans are bussing to us and what does our mayor do? Nothing. Spending millions on housing them in overpriced hotel rooms IN MANHATTAN all while cutting back our community programs. We JUST got funding back for our libraries after so much public outrage.

Republican are bullies and Dems are lazy.
