The politicians I mentioned stood out because they didn’t always toe the party line. They actually represented their constituents, and that’s the bare minimum I think you need to be an elected representative. Whatever else they’ve done, the fact that they actually served as representatives makes them stand head and shoulders above the usual throngs of spineless losers who serve as our congresspersons.
When you give the party as much power as our politicians do, it violates the most basic principles that this country was founded upon.
The ones you respected have done some terrible shit in the name of status quo. Some of it has flown under the radar.
