How is it that I had heard of them months before the election, and you're still catching up?
Back to the point I made elsewhere - the population is abdicating their responsibility to vote responsibly, that is the core problem here. Election came and went, and you didn't even research the non-D/R candidates. As the saying goes, politics isn't a spectator sport. Your approach is basically like going to a car dealership and asking them nicely to give the best deal. You gave up all your power at the door. You didn't fight them on the random fees they threw into the price, you just went, well, at least it's not the RAM dealership across the street. You didn't look on Craigslist for used cars listed by sellers, you didn't ask a mechanic what brand to get, nothing.
