I still consider him to be my Congressman.
I dont live in his district anymore and Im now the proud employer of a freakin Blue Dog Dem, Kurt Schrader. A guy who cofounded the Problem Caucus, and has openly declared that if his CON friends dont go for some bill, he would see said bill as a nonstarter. He actually said that at a town hall that I attended with some Indivisible pals a few months ago.
The caucus is actually called the Problem Solvers Caucus. But to me its definitely a problem. Particularly if it means youre always giving in to the bad guys.

The only effective remedy for us is voter turnout.
Simply by the numbers.
There are more of us than there are of them. If only wed use that!
Our numbers are bigger than theirs! Unfortunately our ability to wilt is bigger than theirs, too.
