    Incredible how >80% of Republicans support the release but only 4 R legislators signed the discharge petition. Shoes how little the GOP Congress cares about their constituents

      That’s because they know what’s in the files, and it’s trump. And they don’t want their constituents to know that. Because that’s too big for them to cover up.

        I don’t know. I would vote Democrat if I lived in the US but they would constantly vote against my preferences on more than just one issue.

        In politics you always have to vote for the one that is closest to you or you help the ones farther from you.

      Why would they? They get reelected whether they do what their constituents want or not. They vote R no matter what and the RNC generally ensures there is little to no competition.

      This is something the Dems recently started trying to copy at the same level after seeing how well it can be blatantly implemented.
