    Just a reminder: if these people win their primaries, which incumbents almost always do, you MUST vote for them no matter how much you dislike them or you’re a bad person

      Honestly, for a question like “have you lost confidence in Chuck Schumer”, anything but a “no” is a pretty harsh response. That’s not a question that’s supposed to have two equally valid answers. If someone asks you “do you love your wife” and the answer is “next question”, you didn’t really dodge the question.

        Well stated. I don’t know why it reminded me of the old Mr. Show sketch about the politician who runs on making fun of a fat guy, and later his own wife:

        If your wife had a face like this, you’d run too!
