    If you think the next guy is going to be better than I have a bridge to sell you. Would you rather have an incompetent bumbling idiot who's too fucking wasted to come up with a coherent plan or a competent bloodthirsty strategist?

    Does that mean they're not voting on the roadless lands reversal? That would be a great silver lining.

    Not showing up to vote should be an automatic forfeit, right?

    Unfortunately that would wildly sway the balance of power because most congressmen only work 100 days per year. Which means only those who care about their constituents would get to pass laws, and that hardly seems fair, right? How would they even get the wildly unpopular laws passed at that point?
