There are no recalls in any state for members of Congress; because the Constitution doesn't allow for any.\nAnd in fact, specifies the opposite: that each house of Congress itself is the sole judge of the qualification of its membership. A house of Congress can vote to expel a member, but that's literally the only way to remove one from office against their will (other than death, which is presumably against their will too).", ">\n\nOk same question. Why would his office care about a petition?", ">\n\nI suspect he doesn't care at all about any petition.\nIf it has any impact, it'd be as a demonstration to other Congressional Republicans that the public, including a large share of Republican voters, want the guy gone and that they might be harming themselves by not getting rid of him.", ">\n\nMaybe they could have gone and voted.

If there isn't room for them to make a leap of faith in believing something, they refuse to believe it at all. They need to feel like they are smart enough to make the connections that others don't.\nThe cynical Republican leaders play to that credulity gap, stoking the conspiracy nonsense because those voters who who gravitate to nonsense are the ones who actually go to the polls in primary elections. The whole charade is so transparent and obvious, except to the bottom third, for whom obvious transparency can only mean the Deep State is even more effective in misinforming people.

Ditto for Cubans in Florida.", ">\n\nDon’t hate on the voters in this case, they were duped into it. \nYou have to remember they were having right wing propaganda jammed down their throats, and knew nothing about Santo’s lies at the time.\nThe Dem party holds a large portion of the blame here, as they just paid no attention to the matter during the run up to the election. They turned a blind eye because they were so overly confident that voters in the district would never vote republican, which was just incorrect. Alarm bells had been rung too, the dem party just didn’t want to invest any time or money to fight it.", ">\n\nI don’t know how the election campaigns were around NYC and that specific district, but let’s not pretend Democrats have been ignoring hate crimes against Asian Americans in general\nMaybe not enough was done in the district, or maybe not enough attention, but to say it was ignored by Democrats is pretty blatantly false, especially when plenty of prominent Republicans were egging it on and standing in the way of anything getting done", ">\n\nOh, I had in no way intended to imply that Dems were ignoring crime against Asian Americans, just that they allowed the GOP to campaign on misinformation that made said Asian Americans feel like Dems weren’t doing anything about it. The problem was the Dems just didn’t think they needed to invest further in fighting for that district because they assumed they didn’t need to. It was a strategic mistake.\nStill, that doesn’t change that the GOP lied to these voters about their own candidate and gave misinformation about which party was able to better protect its voters from crime. That lie is on the GOP and Santos, but the fact it wasn’t better challenged in this district is the Dems fault as well.\nI was just saying don’t blame the voters themselves in this case, as they were the ones being lied to.", ">\n\nI get you, I’ve just seen a lot of stuff online the past few years where it’s subtly implied that anything bad happening to X minority is being condoned by Democrats, because secretly Democrats are the “real” racists\nAnd I get falling for lies, but at the same time it’s a tough pill to swallow when for the past half decade near on every single Republican politician was lining up to imply Covid was the fault of Asians and deny any hate crimes were happening as a result of that implication", ">\n\nI don’t think I’m implying that Dems are racists, nor do I have any intention to.\nStill, it’s really not the fault of the voters here. They genuinely want the guy recalled, and he straight up lied to them. That doesn’t really make them gullible, just vulnerable to political manipulation, which is what happened here.\nFan of the Dems or not, you have to admit this is partially because they dropped the ball in this district and didn’t take the time to fight the candidate who was feeding their voters lies.", ">\n\nThis won't be forgotten. Even though he's not running for reelection, this could have downstream effects for how vetting occurs here going forward.\nAnd to make that point even clearer, the front runner for special election or 2024 on the GOP side would be Jack Martins. His record and credentials are well established. But he could lose simply because of the anger.\nBy the time the next census comes around, yes the district could revert to its newly questionable redder demographics from the recent redistricting. If not for Santos, this district could have been a GOP hold for a few years.", ">\n\nYeah I don't think they'll forget.

There are no recalls in any state for members of Congress; because the Constitution doesn't allow for any.\nAnd in fact, specifies the opposite: that each house of Congress itself is the sole judge of the qualification of its membership. A house of Congress can vote to expel a member, but that's literally the only way to remove one from office against their will (other than death, which is presumably against their will too).", ">\n\nOk same question. Why would his office care about a petition?", ">\n\nI suspect he doesn't care at all about any petition.\nIf it has any impact, it'd be as a demonstration to other Congressional Republicans that the public, including a large share of Republican voters, want the guy gone and that they might be harming themselves by not getting rid of him.", ">\n\nMaybe they could have gone and voted.

Trump would sound off on Fox news, but no one really took him seriously. Then he ran for President open the door to all these racist bigoted groups and gave them a soap box. The Republicans knew he was an idiot but they didn't care as long as they could grab the White House. It has cost them big time and no longer support him.", ">\n\nWrong.
