Those were different parties then. Repubs pissed off at the supposed do nothing never trumpers and dems hoping they’d get dems of yester year as oppose to the anarchists like the squad that weather you like it or not are now the voice and face of your party. Basically, you had dem voters on the fence that hoped that dem congressmen they voted would get shit done and change course but all they did was double down on what failed in the first place and just go way further to the left to extreme measures. Basically, if you were on the fence about your left leaning congress that you voted for, or you were and independent, and not an extremist, your not voting for those politicians that literally accomplished nothing in their time. Only, extremists want their elected officials spending ALL of their time just trying to dig up dirt on their opponents instead of accomplishing things. Say what you want about Trump but everyone that voted for him or his constituents are happy with the bills he’s passing, and the decisions they’ve been making. Even then we still kept the senate.
