While its nice to see moderate sane Democrats, we know that party is a lost cause. Still "A" for effort Senator Sinema

I am really impressed with Sinema. I don't know how long she'll be "allowed" to remain in Congress as a non-communist Democrat. But still, she is totally overshadowing her colleague Mark "rubber stamp everything Democrat" Kelly. Now that guy is gutless.

Any democrat that isn't an absolute complete drone is astounding to see. Of COURSE she's hated by the slimy libs.

And an A for effort for Manchin, just outnumbered

There must be an opposition party for this to be a healthy democracy.

The right does the same with Liz Cheney. Maybe they can swap teams.

When and why did we ever stop running our elections like this?

"The practice of running candidates for president and vice president together evolved in the nineteenth century. Originally, electors cast votes for two candidates on the same ballot for president; the candidate who finished second place in the tabulation became vice president."

Seems like it would keep things more fair as both sides would still have their guy with at least a foot in the door, if not as president at least as VP. when you get one party in office and they nominate whoever they want as vp, they're obviously gonna nominate someone from tbeir own party who solely caters to their parties ideas with no opposition, leaving the other party and their constituents shit on and unheard

It mostly sounds like a good idea until you realize that it really incentivises assassinations.

Fair and logical answer. Idk how true it is though as we've ran elections like this as recently as a couple-few decades ago (used to be this way when i was a kid) and no one was assisnated as a result of it being ran that way. But yeah it is 2022 and a whole new time

Im old but I'm not THAT old lol

Or idk maybe i learned about it as a kid somewhere and just thought it was that way later as a teenager nevercrealizing it changed in the 1800s lol

No im pretty sure it used to be like this when i was a kid/teenager. I'm almost certain of it.

You are either born before 1799 or just wrong. The 12th amendment went into effect in the 1804 presidential election & been the same way ever since.

Or maybe im in tbe wrong timeline again

If you still think this is about American politics, you're ignorant. Your country is being consumed by communism. Everything is right on schedule.

Joy Reid has probably stuck a 100 pins in a Sinema voodoo doll by now.

Joy Reid is a disgusting hippopotamus.
