The republicans have always gotten their way by obstructing everywhere they can and forcing negotiations even when they do not have the majority. The democratic leadership (e.g. hakeem jeffries and chuck schumer) throw their hands up and say "we cant do anything" and promptly do nothing or flip sides.

Doing this sets a standard for democratic politicians and puts pressure on the democrats to do something, anything even if it is just to be a thorn in the republicans side. Any of them who continues to waste the little power they do have will have to face their own constituents who ask "if Booker can do that for 25 hours, where the fuck were you when we needed you to fight back against this"

Old ass image. Theory is it was made by the company selling the iq tests to make people talk about it and take a test themselves

Weird, I was just looking at how to recall senators and Minnesota requires:

  • $100 + 25 resident signatures
  • file a petition: "The grounds must be one of the following: malfeasance, nonfeasance, or serious crime"
  • State Supreme Court decides if its worth hearing, then set up a court date
  • hearing to decide if grounds for recall are valid
  • get 25% of the number of votes cast in the last general election within 90 days

Look at the NYTs coverage of the genocide in gaza ("boohoo poor israel, self defense") and general media coverage Bernie Sanders (doesnt exist until he has no chance of winning something, pretending hes more outspoken now even though he's been saying the same thing for the last 60 years)
