    Democrat politicians constantly passed all these covid restrictions and then partied in Republican-led areas like Florida and Texas, or just violated their own rules.

    That did not give me the impression that they cared.

      Omg so shocking politicians are corrupt ass hats who literally exist in a different class than the rest of us.

      Sounds like you’ve just always been a rube. So are you going further left or just voting for the people who literally tell you they don’t care?

        You’re delusional if you think any politicians actually care about anyone but themselves.

        But the point is, I’m not comfortable with politicians deciding what’s “essential” and what isn’t, then ignoring the rules they set by partying in Florida.

      Just because other people are hypocritical and disregard the well being of others doesn’t mean that’s what you should aspire to.

        No, but what made me upset is that every single one of these hypocrites got re-elected. The Democrats need to do better. Just because they’re Team Blue doesn’t mean they’re good people or even have anyone’s best interests in minds.

            Have you not noticed that’s exactly what politics became in the US? Everybody would rather be in an echo chamber with other fans of their team than listen to anything the other side has to say.
