Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It is standard practice for someone lacking information on a given topic to derisively ask those they disagree with to become masters of said topic, then nit-picking anything that person might come up with.
This is a boring pattern. Let us change it.
This is actually the point i was making. What they are doing amounts to crossing their arms in my estimation.
Performative grandstanding, tough guy tweeting and fundraising. Uselessness is their MO imo.
As for what i want from them? To do what i asked them to, successfully represent me. I don't care how it's done. Does that sound unfair? It shouldn't, it should sound familiar. It sounds like what you and i are expected to do at our jobs every day. Our excuses do not save us from getting axed. We are not allowed to place blame on our co-workers. We get it done, or we're gone.
Just like any other job they're subject to a performance review. In this case my review holds little weight, but i don't need you going to bat for them, i need you to take them to task. I need you to stop accepting their excuses.
Until enough people do, why should their performance increase? What evidence have you picked up during your lifetime that compels you to take them at their word, that they'll do better next quarter "as long as you hire some of their friends to help them do the job" they are currently, and for a long time have utterly failed to do?
