Why the approval ratings for Democrats in Congress are so low

4. I don't understand sitting out elections.

When I realized that Schumer wasn't going to push to end the filibuster, supported by the Senate Democratic "club", I was extremely disappointed. Surely, I thought, Democrats in Congress could see that the Supreme Court was the blockade protecting Trump from prosecution, and so they would use the tools they had when they were the majority to break the filibuster in order to amend the judiciary act and pack the court with liberals who would make sure Trump's prosecution for insurrection was not delayed any more. I was disappointed when Biden didn't decide one term was enough and his age was going to be a factor, and he didn't open the door for primaries to choose the party's Presidential candidate. I was even more disapointed when the big donors made a stink after the debate and got their way after creating weeks of confusion, and disappointed that money in politics has corrupted some of the basic principles of the Democratic party. I know, fight fire with fire.

But I would NEVER stay home from an election and I wouldn't ever vote for a Republican in any contested seat.
