    Thumbs up Another reason to keep the faith with the USA voters

    Santos folds his reelection tent after receiving no donations.

    Apparently for george, enough is enough

    In a somewhat similar case in PA, we had an incumbent state rep eliminated in the primary. The people had enough

    The back story of that one is nothing to be proud of. This guy had been a state rep since 2016. He also suffers from mental illness. That had progressively worsened and as a result he was banned from entering the capital building

    However, since the dems hold only a 2 seat majority, the speaker allowed this guy to vote remotely through a proxy

    Man, I missed out on political donations too. If I had a job, I'd resign from it.

    (Yes, the implication that the fate of Santos has no impact on my life remains intact,)
