TOPIC OF THE DAY: How Do SORRY ASS Politicians Get Reelected? :snoop:

[SirReginald]

I'm not bashing them at all and there are good politicians and bad ones. Plus, I'm gonna give it a run in four years as a state rep Anyway, I always wondered how lying politcians make it as far as they do. Is it because they have their special interests connections and they are in their pocket Our last honest President was Jimmy Carter Now, being the President is NOT the end all be all. However, we have sad ass governors. Just take that dude from Maine and my Governor for example



How do they get reelected? They can do a sorry job and STILL WIN reelection. However, the good ones always get cut out

Breh... do you know how hard it is to unseat an incumbent?
Funding alone makes the idea of challenging seem very daunting.

Our current political landscape is designed to make it easier to be re-elected.
The old joke about our bicameral congress

"The only way to leave the senate is through death"

People need to have these people primaried. Same thing in 2020. Clinton needs to be primaried and the senators. Also, we as voters need to get off our butts and start doing our part. I want to run in four years and either primary my mayor our state rep.

A novel idealogical idea, but it will never happen.

We have a 2 party system and both of them are 100% fine with how hard it is unseat an incumbent.

Both parties care more about keeping power than ANYTHING else

Isn't there an old joke that says incumbents always win?

People mostly vote either democrat or republican straight down the list. It will be tough to get elected if you don't have either one of those endorsements. So prepare to spend ALOT of money campaigning. If I were you I'd get involved with a church in your community and start from there. As far as support and fund raising, that will be your best bet. Let's be honest, you could go out into the black community and campaign but are they really giving money like that unless it's a church? Good luck breh

There's been Presidents who have been primaried before. If a progressive primaries Clinton because she flopped as president it could be problems.

I was referring to open primaries for senators
