While I would agree with you and Voroxpete under the old rules of US politics, they no longer apply. Seems to me the average Representative either lies through his/her teeth (assuming they have any), or votes performatively, and then does something completely different, or nothing at all. I have come to really, really dislike this kind of performative vote, seeing my fellow Canadians mislead into believing it actually means that there are folks in the House, outside of two or three, who would actually do diddly-squat to prevent their country from overrunning its neighbours to achieve hegemony. Please don’t tell me how your system works, because it stopped working somewhere around Mission Accomplished.
Last I looked, any vote in Congress was foreordained unless a few Republicans were suddenly to come down with the measles, and even then, they’d probably drag themselves through DC, infecting everyone they passed, to prove their loyalty to their God Emperor.
Talk is not action. Not even close. Lots of nice people, who are hoping that, somehow, Canada will save them by distracting His Maga-sty or taking them in if the US collapses, or both. A very few trying to take an actual action or two. I’m not holding my breath: one of the main effects of social media seems to be to convince people that merely expressing an opinion constitutes action.
Only if you name is Navalny or Mandela, Pankhurst or Wałęsa.
What! A right to serve the public at the expense of the cryptobros? What a quaint, old-fashioned idea!
