Iβm a leftist in a blue state who grew up and lives with a do-nothing Democrat representative. I didnβt realise town halls with congressional officials are a thing until four years ago, when the GOP started cancelling theirs over the Trump hatred. We need to remember that the Democrats and Republicans are being bought by the same people, though Democrats tend to be less racist.
The public thinks midterms are important but rarely considers the primaries. In some areas, a potato π₯ would beat a Republican in a heavily blue district. Conversely, a potato could win against a Democrat in a heavily red district. Instead of choosing the lesser of 2 evils, people need to support the right leftist or liberal candidate during the primary elections held earlier in the year.
Sadly, many working-class Republicans see the problem but are misled into believing that immigrants, Muslims or LGBTQIA+ individuals are the reason for their struggles.
