At some point the populace is supposed to go back to their lives. Content that the people we voted in are going to represent us...you know...so we can enjoy our OWN prosperity and life under the Stars and Bars. If we are going to do all the thinking, and leg work, and brain-busting of ideas, who needs representatives who can sell themselves out?
We choose the people. THEY decide some things. Use your best judgement _____(insert any DEMOCRAT here.)
Not our job to answer every question, theirs either.
Our job is to vote, and protest if called to. And be good people. End of story. Even if a murderer votes...the murderers vote next to him can cancel it out. And from what Ive seen, there are some wrongly convicted murderers in our system. Just as an aside. If the wrongly accused do get released, maybe it's not the most Ghandi-esque of things, to have destroyed his/her life while they fought for theirs. (?) Just thinking out loud.
Sounds like another version of....Dems are for Open Borders. It's patently ridiculous.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
