And 269 of those legislators are Republicans, most of which are uncaring sociopathic individuals who were voted in by a party of spiteful, hateful, racist voters.
The best way to change that situation is to vote. Don't bitch about it. Vote.
Wow... 6-3, I wonder where I've heard that split before? Oh, right, it's the same SCOTUS split that has been going on ever since Trump put three immoral and corruptible judges unto the Supreme Court, voted in by Republicans in the Senate, who were in turn, voted in by Republicans.
The best way to change that situation is to vote. Don't bitch about it. Vote.
And most of those states are red states... you know, the states filled to the brim with Republicans.
Are you starting to see a pattern here?
I 100% agree with you that they're vermin. My point is that they nonetheless are members of the federal government which could otherwise ban this.
I'm quite content to do both actually, thank you very much.
Yes, and I've mentioned that split elsewhere in this thread; doesn't mean that these traitorous fucks don't have control over the entire US through essentially unchecked authority and that that is – say it with me – inherently the fault of the United States.
Nobody's disputing that. See the first portion of this response.
I think you think what I'm saying is some kind of weird both-sidesism (it's not; the world would be a markedly better place if every Republican were replaced by a Democrat counterpart), but the fact is that a ban on capital punishment can't happen because the US is backward enough to have too many of these Republicans representing it.
Why will voting change it? Democrats had majorities before and didn't do squat
It's not about voting for Obama that one time in 2008, and crying that he didn't single-handedly fix all of your problems with his powers as a king.
Well don't worry, I haven't voted since
And this is why you fail, and you fail the rest of us.
Haha yes I am the failure and not the people who keep getting elected
People get elected based on your vote, or your lack of vote. That's how representative democracies work.
