OK, good to hear. But have you always lived in a district where your representative reflects ALL of your most important beliefs and issues?
If so, how nice for you, some of us dont have it that easy, you see.
Some liberals or democrats have reps who usually because of the demographics of the area, dont always stand on the issues the way they want them to. Might be anti consumer protection or anti universal health care, whether they are personally or just to reflect a right leaning district to get elected.
Those liberals or democrats in those states or districts may have to vote for someone who they are not entirely thrilled with, but do you know why they do it?
The party with ONE more seat gets to do what? Decide EVERYTHING including whether or not a bill is even VOTED on let alone passed!
So Manchin for instance, if a liberal democrat cant win in his state then you support him like your LIFE depends on it because IT DOES.
