@jmullen2@ChrisAverillMT it’s actually not as simple as saying “this person voted bad on this thing” when we’re talking about damage to the entire systems. i’d rather have someone who believes in democracy and checks and balances than someone who we can’t even agree on that fundamental American belief.
@ChrisAverillMT@jmullen2 this take is completely devoid of the realities of how hard the MTGOP went at trying to unseat the more moderate Republicans this year in their primaries. one could just as easily argue that without the focused help, much closer to 100% of the incumbents would have been ousted.

Can't raise minimum wage because it will kill jobs.
Can't raise taxes on the bourgeoisie class because it will kill jobs.
Can't ditch oil because it will kill jobs.
But when these companies replace 50% of their workforce with AI, it's "sorry, that's just the way it goes."
