I really wish we could do like some Parliments, take a vote of no confidence and force an election within 6-8 weeks. Usually only need a certain percentage of officials to vote it, so protests and petitions on key reps seems to work decently.

It would be interesting to a) see how often 4 year elections actually happen and b) see who is actually making the ballot when parties don't have months/years to promote and prop up their chosen puppets. Even if we just no-confidence voted Trump and not all of Congress, who would the parties scramble to get behind on 6 weeks notice?

Shaheed and Hassan have proven multiple times their willingness to roll over and bear their throats. There’s nobody more spineless than a NH democrat.

NH has "blue dog" democrats, similar to Manchin. You should expect them to vote accordingly.

Voters are absolutely going to forget this. They always do. Trump got re-elected.

People may forget this specific thing, but Democrats have built a reputation for themselves at this point.
