Reply to comment by dahwhat in Why has NH gone more to left theses days? by BoringAccountName78

Warren Rudmam, John E. Sununu, Judd Greg … Don Bolduc.

TBH, Shaheen and Hassan win because they sound more like your grandad’s Republicans than Democrats. Shaheen and Hassan both opposed raising the minimum wage, for example.

Lol this is so true. US Democratic Party is closer to the UK’s Conservative Party than the GOP, which is frankly closer to UKIP.

When I lived in the UK, I voted with the UK Conservatives. In the US, it’s democrats.

GOP has gone way too far to the right. By extension, this makes democrats more center than left.

I gotta say I love how in the UK they savagely roast each other in the parliament.

I'd love for someone to call McConnell a blathering buffoon faced moron to his face while the Senate is in session.

Or someone call Nancy a vestigial old husk needing putting out to pasture.

They're also both gun grabbers and vote with the democrat party about 95% of the time. That whole "they're Republicans" thing isn't real.

If you wanna play here, and not just be patted on the head and put in a corner, you have to think just a little and not merely parrot talking points.

Case in point, you know most stuff passes with most representatives voting for it, largely unanimously, so even Republicans vote with Biden most of the time. Most stuff isn't controversial. You only hear about the controversial stuff. So 95% doesn't mean much, in fact I suspect it is higher.

No bills, none, zip, were brought to the floor for a vote that would grab anyone's guns. NH would hate that, but there you go mindlessly writing about gun grabbing. You're welcome for me trying to help you find a clue.
