Summary
Senate Democrats who initially backed some of Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees now regret their votes, citing broken promises and controversial policies.
Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) apologized for supporting Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins after the administration terminated over 1,000 VA employees, including those at the Veterans Crisis Line.
Senator Andy Kim (D-N.J.) regretted confirming Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem due to aggressive immigration policies.
Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) expressed disappointment with Secretary of State Marco Rubio for actions undermining USAID.
Do they really think their constituents are that gullible?
Honestly not trying to be argumentative here, but it does seem like most voters can be that gullible, concerning what’s currently going on, as well as what’s happened in the past.
Basically every voter thinks the other 49 senators are trash but theirs is always perfect, for some reason.
If people truly voted accurately, a lot of the problems we have today wouldn’t happen. Right now elected officials know that they can just bullshit their way through any conversation with their voters and stay in office, keep their jobs.

There are 100 senators and neither side has 50. Republicans have 53 and the caucus of Democrats and Independents have 47 combined.
Americans elected Trump.
And then reelected him despite spending a literal year golfing, fucking over the economy, and turning COVID into a pandemic.
Yeah, apparently we are that gullible.
Considering Congress has a 94% reelection rate, abso-fucking-litely they do.
Yes. They all do.
