So he didn’t read the bill for the Biden debt ceiling increase that he cast the deciding yes vote on.

Nope. No debt ceiling increase bill passed by 1 vote.

How’d that spending cut work out?

About as well as Trump’s DOGE cuts.

Especially when the only alternative are a bunch of puppets who vote for anything related to the establishment, the entire reason actual bills that benefit the people like the ones Massie introduced don't get passed

Do you think Massie would be more successful if he wasn't going full throttle all the time? Instead of abolishing the fed, start with crippling it. But Massie would vote no on that because it isn't fully abolishing it.

The problem with people like Massie is that they are so principled that they will not vote for anything that isn't 100% of what they want.

That's not how life works. incrementalism is proven to be successful, but Massie will fight against the steps that will achieve his goal simply because it is not fast enough.

He could also try to slip some of these things into other bills, but he's too principled for that, too. Only single bills allowed.

He's never practical, and that's why he never accomplishes anything in government. And we need the government to accomplish something like abolishing the fed until conservatives are ready to do more than talk on the internet.

That's all bullshite.

Why can't any of you show me the congressman doing better and accomplishing more thnigs?

Doesn't it really amount to - vote for the BBB, aka increased government spending. Vote for the Iran war, and vote other neocon things?

Those are the reasons people like you are upset. Because you don't hold the same standard to a single other person.

Because you're full of shite. I've seen the crap you cheer for.

Name the better congressman. NONE OF YOU CAN.
