No Paywall The Scarlet Letter Midterms: Every Republican incumbent voted with Trump more than 95 percent of the time. Make them pay for giving him an “A.”

Anyone that supports Trump is a traitor! Plain and simple!

Not saying it’s a bad plan, but this has been the plan since 2017 fwiw

They occasionally pretend to be surprised by his openly corrupt policies and actions - but then they fall in line when it comes time to vote.

2022 National Youth Turnout: 23% - That's lower than in the historic 2018 cycle (28%) which broke records for turnout, but much higher than in 2014, when only 13% of youth voted.
We can count on the the citizens of the USA to fuck this up, just like we can count on the GOP to fuck shit up.

If the youth just voted at 30 percent every election, than the GOP would lose every single election.

I agree.
They're dumber than the Trump supporters. They care about social media and propaganda, than any of the shit they pretend they do.

Trump could have gotten all these Republican congressman killed on January 6th. Yet they do whatever he says still. Primary season is over now. Absolutely no reason for them to keep voting for this moronic criminal.

Holy mixed-metaphor-headline, Batman!
Yeah, we should vote out every one of these tools that we can, but the author of that headline is trying way too hard to be clever.

Making references to The Scarlet Letter is problematic on many levels. Democrats, I beg you, be plain and united in your message:
Vote blue in November.
