    “The senator noted that she also serves Trump voters of Michigan”

    There it is. As somebody who has an ®President, ®governor, ®Senator, ®Congressperson I can tell you that not a single one feels the need to represent my point of view or interests. This statement by Slotkin strikes me as nothing more than idealism that serves to only inhibit the party’s ability to pass meaningful legislation.

      For real, I live in a gop district. Those clowns don’t give a single shit about my opinion. People like Slotkin enable Republicans by constantly validating their views, and at this point it feels very much planned and deliberate.

      She’s a Democrat representative in a historically Republican area. I know this because she’s the actual representative for where I live. She barely won and she understands that Trump voters are also her constituents.

      I do agree that she and the rest of them (sans Bernie and AOC) need to do much more. She talks of action but her only actions are just talk…
