i don’t understand how it isn’t a massive problem to the public that people will often run campaigns on lies and abandon their supposed principles once in office. Fetterman is probably the biggest recent example of this bullshit except he is even worse because he is not shying away from people pointing out how he has “changed.” he hasn’t changed lol he merely lied. he should be followed everywhere he goes with a crowd of jeers and boos and tomatoes being flung at him.

It's wild because in some states we theoretically have the solution to this which is recall elections - but they never get used for this purpose.

yup! one of the things i was thinking of when i left my comment. Americans are not told of their options because an educated population is dangerous. those in power would rather keep us exhausted and fighting with each other.
