my increasingly curmudgeonly take is that we all, in fact, have responsibilities. politics isn't an arena for self-actualization. it's an arena for public service. this is as true of voters as it is of politicians.
Ps: a common refrain that you'll hear is that "you're saying the Dems can't be at fault, it's the voters, as if the voters owe something to politicians and not the other way around!"
Yes, actually, that's how the social contract of democracy works. Voters yet the government they work for. Or don't.

1. Sen. Collins has probably been duped.
2. Sen. Collins is Appropriations committee chair. Maybe she should care about what’s happening in the other 49 states?
3. But judging from the appropriations package Sen. Collins is supporting, she’s fine with what ICE has been doing.

Take a look at what tariffs have done to aluminum prices in the US (versus prices in Europe and Japan) — and you can almost understand why there’s been no manufacturing boom. 🤡
