> Every check and balance is working its just not making decisions the left agrees with. This is indeed what democracy looks like though. Mid terms are coming up and the people will once again have a chance to voice their opinion.

The Republican Party acts like the midterms don't matter at all.

Approval is plummeting, representatives ignore townhalls like the plague.



Which is awesome for the dems then correct? Reps will lose seats and then the Dems will have the house and enforce whatever checks and balances they choose.

If the reps win then the people have spoken and current actions continue.


Districts are gerrymandered and the voters are split and hardened into camps.

You can say all is going according to the law (I would say no), but it seems most people think the country is going down the tubes - they just disagree with who is at fault - and it seems the right is just happy as long as the libs are crying about it.


Unless the reason is that there will be no election, or only elections in red states, or you will need a special travel passport for going to Washington DC, which magically won't be issued to new Democrats, or any number of possible obstructions are possible.

Why would the House get back in session at all, for that matter? House leader Mike Johnson might enjoy vacation too much.


I think the more obvious possibility is far more sinister.


What about the gerrymandering?
