Serious talk, we hear a lot of "vote em all out" and "Uniparty" on here, and think it's mostly justified.
Are there any representatives you believe in/would want to retain their seats in Congress or your State's leadership??

Yes, I am in SC and Tim Scott does a good job. But we need term limits for all of them.

Zero in arkansas. They all seem to vote uniparty in turns; voting no depending on the uniparty needing that vote to pass or if they are up for re-election.
Based on numerous ukraine aid votes and therecent fisa vote. Unless we simply believe they are waffling or flip flopping and its not an organized phenomenon.

I still like Ted Cruz. Cornyn can EABOD/DIAF though.

I'm sure you think they all should go, except yours, he/she does a really good job. Now suppose the people living in the other 434 districts more or less think the same way.

There are no Democrats to consider.
People that supported aid to Ukraine or the Omnibus are out.
In the Senate that leaves Hawley, Blackburn, Braun. I believe Braun is retiring. Blackburn decided to vote against a resolution affirming that the Constitution takes precedence over the NATO treaty. So, Hawley is the only Republican to even consider in the Senate. Remember, only 1/3 of the Senate seats are up for election every two years.
In the House it's Biggs, Crane, Goode, Rosendale, Gaetz. They were a NO on Ukraine and the Omnibus and did not vote for McCarthy. They have continued to be on the right side of issues. Since the McCarthy stuff went down, Massie and MTG seem to have seen the light on Speaker stuff and decided that it's more important to dig in, fight, and stick to principles (and the Constitution) than to play games and think supporting career idiots like McCarthy is a good plan. So, those two are worth consideration once again.
Of the people on the ballot in November, less than 2% are worth any consideration. No Dem in the nation, at any level, should be elected in 2024. The party moves in lock step and supports an anti-American agenda. Most Republicans are right there with them.
If you add the border to this discussion, you don't really change the list. There are some Republicans that give it lip service but they aren't really digging in on that issue, aside from those above already mentioned.

People should focus on their local and in some cases state elections only. The fed is gone

Now is not the time for protest votes. We will have a fresh(er) slate of candidates in four years when many of these monsters will be dead and gone. We have to survive the next four years and the world is in the toilet.
Vote for closed borders
Vote for our allies in the foreign conflicts
Vote for our economy and fossil fuels

None. And anyone who pulls the lever for their incumbent simply because they have an R next to their name is a moron

Serious question. How is that different than what we have now?

This line has been repeated every 4 years for at least the last 16 years. Guess what, the next election never comes.

Every state has the opportunity to make sure that the incumbent is not there to pull a lever for, but, guess what happens.

Only 2 local candidates.

My US Rep, Josh Brecheen will continue to get my vote. He hasn't pissed me off yet.
The two senators, Lankford and Mullin are trash. I voted foe neither of them last elections and will never vote for either one, ever.
I'd vote for the current Governer Stitt over both of those losers.

Serious question; Are you fricking stupid?
Also, do you think Johnson would be doing things exactly the same if he a 40 vote majority versus a one vote majority?

Way too many only vote in general elections. (If they vote at all)
You want to change you need to vote out the incumbent R you don't like in the primaries. Not in the fricking general.

No. Why even ask this question?
