(1,151 posts)Better to have fewer congresspeople who agree with my platform for the Democratic party than to include anyone who disagrees with me on some issues.
If a district is socially liberal but fiscally conservative they should elect an R instead of a D who doesn't agree with me. Control of the house and senate is overrated - who cares about committees, judge confirmation and other things the majority party gets to control. If the district still elects a D, that representative needs to ignore his/her constituents' wishes and follow mine because I will notice (even if I can't vote in that district).

There are plenty of representatives who don't represent their constituents on these issues. I agree with your sentiment on them. But there are others who are Ds that are accurately representing their district. Changing the voters' minds is the solution, not attacking their representative (or the voters themselves).
