Good! They need to be! BTW- this goes along with many of my other comments over the years- if you don't remember me posting "It's our/the voter's duty to be critical of our government", you weren't paying attention or you have forgotten.
I don't care about the parties, I care that our government does what it should and it hasn't, for many years. Congress has had a piss-poor approval rating for a long time and NOTHING is done about it. Voters continue to cast their ballots for incumbents who run unopposed, new candidates come out and are some of the biggest wastes of food & air (George Santos is a great example) and if someone were to ask questions in polls that are actually useful, it would show that easily half of the voters are clueless- they just vote based on emotion, not facts.
The media needs to return to fact-based, verified/verifiable reporting and stop being 'entertainment'. The presenters have been made into stars and their 'facts' aren't, they're usually opinions. The CBS coverage of Election night of 2016 showed that they were dumbfounded by the fact that Hillary lost- one of the comments was "How could we have been so wrong?". Well, they had spent the previous few years telling the viewers who should get their votes, rather than listening to people- this is the same reason Harris lost.
Then, there's the practice in both parties where they bulldoze candidates who aren't seen as 'viable' and shove the guy who has a chance of winning', rather than finding a worthwhile candidate, who will look at their role in the sense of "for the whole country', not 'for my party or those who can give me a lot of money. Don't ignore Joe Biden in this- he's not as clean as many believe and he's definitely not as honest as he claims to be. Then, there's the GOP, who rolls out a clown car every time they should be finding a candidate who'll do what I mentioned. Criminals? Sure, why not? Absolute turds? Go ahead.
WRT the Democrats- I'm effing tired of them shoving someone out there and using "They're the first of their kind to run for this office in America" and "This is an historic candidate". They talk AT people, they tell people what they think people want to hear and they ignore what the people say. Harris spent 3-1/2 years saying that the border and economy were fine and as soon as Joe bowed out, just about all she could say between laughter was that she was going to fix the economy and the border. Well, which is it?
If voters were the parents of our government, they would say "I'm extremely disappointed in you" as if they were bad children, but it wouldn't matter- they're all shameless.
