Yeah, only like six people voted against the goddamn bill, so spamming basically the entire Congress all over the board is pure freaking noise. It may be that all of Congress are losers that need to be voted out, but focusing on that now is a very, very misplaced priority.
I’ve been here since day one, along with a lot of others (I see you a lot, SJ, not speaking to you, but to the group). Here’s the questions:
Do we have an election to win?
If you had a switch to flip, that would either:
Spam all of Congress onto our board, or
NOT spam all of Congress onto our board,
How would you throw that switch?
At first I thought this was some slightly MAGA karma-whoring.
After consideration, I think the odds are much higher that it is some nefarious shit.
Why should our officials get a pass for that kind of voting? As a congressman, you are voting on bills that will become law and govern the people, and everyone is just cool with them not being adequately informed of what they are voting for all because it contains 1 thing they think is good or because the holidays are coming up and gosh darn it all, it's so much work to be informed/read it thoroughly??
Nobody should ever vote yes on anything unless they know what the fuck they are voting yes on. I thought this was common sense?
And if the entire gov runs this way and people ARE cool with this, then we deserve the shit we are in right now because people do not make good choices when they are uninterested or unwilling to put in the work. We shouldn be demanding more from our leaders, not less.
They shouldnt and reforms to how bills are produce have been shot down numerous times. A bill shouldnt be no larger than 10 pages and the reason its done that way is so common people would be unable to understand it unless it goes through the 'right people'.
