So the fact that there is internal debate within the Republican Party means the voters should just give up and allow the other side to have all of the power?

Correct me if I am wrong but the way this is supposed to work is we elect people who share our values to fight over all this bullshit for us and figure it out. This prevents us from arguing with each other about the shit our representatives are supposed to be doing for us. We go on with our lives.

The problem is that we elect lying pieces of shit to represent us, and they generally do not argue over things that we would like them to, leaving us to fight amongst ourselves as citizens while our representatives laugh it up all the way to the bank.


I will stand by the Matt gaetz of the world all day every day until I am dead. That is literally the entire point of congress.

No. texas argued that changing election laws (not breaking them) without legislative procedure to do so, broke the US constitution. and the SCOTUS decided (correctly) that the only constitutional issue was the lack of standing one state has to file a suit against another state, because without an interstate contention Texas has no business suing Penn.

the flip side of this would be precedent by the US federal govt stating that no individual state is allowed to change it's own state election procedures, large or small, without legislative action to do so. this would make the process far too rigid for issues that arise in the short term. also the Federal govt has no business telling states how to conduct their own elections, within reason. and given differences in the state constitutions this would be federal over-reach to standardize state election practices. it was an objective loss for state's rights, ironic it came from republicans.

"Allow the other side"

Texas v Pennsylvania was about Pennsylvania breaking their own election laws. Which is correct, they did.

I don’t see what is funny. A republic where representatives are elected to, ya know, represent people. I don’t know if we are talking about the same thing here. Or maybe you didn’t read my entire post.

This is where the mask slipped
"allow the other side to have all of the power?"

As if voting for any absolute shit candidate is better than having "the other side" win.

Crazy
