    The house is by nature more extreme than the senate, right?

    House reps get elected by districts that are often heavily gerrymandered, allowing if not requiring them to be more partisan compared to Senators who need to appeal to over 50% of the entire state?

    And they are all up for reelection every other year, so are basically in campaign "appealing to the base" mode all the time.

    Just remember that half the people you meet are below average intelligence.

    A two year election cycle for federal representatives seems effing bonkers, I don’t know how you’re supposed to get anything done.

    Getting things done? In America? No, that's for individuals to get on with, not the government! If anything got done, then life would be easier, and then how would people pay their blood, sweat and tears tithe to get into Heaven?

    tl;dr: Protestant work ethic, baybee!

    Then you get crazy shit like CA where it's an open primary vying for top two, and if you get over 50% in the primary for local positions you're just elected anyway and don't have to do the November election.

    It's hilarious, but the bit.ly link actually goes to one of those terrible sites talking about how Sidney Powell is believable (article from November), so actually the fact checking is PROBABLY related to that, not the video.

    the healing body is a good analogy. everyone knows you heal gangrenous limbs by ignoring them and pretending everything is okay

    yeah the notion that he would have any special insight into national politics or combating fascism isn't based in anything

    he's a cop and like everyone at the fbi he's not a particularly good one

    James Comey is a dumb white man with impressive credentials that were afforded to him by being the tallest man in any given room he walked into. Everyone who saw him duck under every doorframe he's entered through was like "Yo we gotta give this dude everything he wants cuz he's a fuckin giant."

    I think its a relativity thing. Compared to the CIA and NSA, the FBI is less evil.

    That's very easy to explain. It was not a rational argument, people were just desperate to believe on anything that will make the bad man go away and let them get rid of the emotional anguish caused for watching a crass, vulgar bully win. The Mueller mania was 100% the negation stage of dealing with grief.

    That they occasionally do things like investigate the KKK helps too.
