I'm not advocating for it, merely observing that that seems to be the way in which the USA prematurely gets rid of politicians that it does not like. It's revolting, the amount of violence in politics and >> what even banana republics get away with and that's on both sides of the aisle so I don't give a rats ass about which side you or anybody else is on.

I mean, it was okay for Trump to do so, so...

"If Hilary gets elected, there's nothing you'll be able to do. I mean, maybe some of you Second Amendment types might be able to, maybe."


Plenty of state-level reps can be recalled today. That noone is even trying sends the message that the population is generally OK with waiting until the next election ... an election that will be run/managed/counted by those representatives.

I specifically said Congressional representatives.
