Wouldn’t replacing that with a party that represents voters better than the Democrats - let alone the Republicans be nice? No, because only the voters can decided who represents them, not us. It’s not as though the GOP is even popular Majority? No. Popular, yes, its just wrong to say otherwise. They still get 10s of millions of votes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] eskimofry@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 child) They should get a majority to govern though.
