Will these folks ever do their damn jobs and represent the constituents?

I think it's a mistake. William Lacy Clay, Jr. for years offered the constituents results. He represented the Missouri 1st Congressional District which includes the city of St. Louis, St. Louis County and parts of St. Charles County, Missouri. 

He made the mistake of not jumping on bandwagon promises and activism. During the protests of George Floyd, a perennial candidate managed to get the best of him. The lawmaker took on Cori Bush, a local nurse and activist who ran against him in the previous battle. 

With the outrage resonating with the cop walk in the Michael Brown case, the corruption and police brutality plaguing the St. Louis Police and St. Louis County Sheriff's Department, the segregation of the city, those fucking Karens who pointed guns at Black Lives Matter activists and the death of George Floyd gave Bush an advantage. She would beat Clay in the primary and go on to win the election.

She got the backing of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).

Clay called Bush a distraction who will turn off voters in the district. It appears he's telling the truth.

She quickly joined the Squad which consists of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and new member Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY).

They represent relatively safe Democratic districts. So far, Bush and members of the Squad have done nothing more than be sideline activists instead of representatives. What St. Louis is facing is what Cleveland is facing.

Food deserts, blight, white flight and job loss. Things that lawmakers need to find a solution to. With that being said, St. Louis is the "Gateway to the West." 

Once you cross the Mississippi River and see the Gateway Arch National Park, you're in the West.

Bush needs to focus on bringing St. Louis back to its glory. Right now, she's being too much of an activists and it's giving the far-right catnip.

When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they’re referring to is for white people.

This land is stolen land and Black people still aren’t free.

— Cori Bush (@CoriBush) July 4, 2021

Bush tweeted out, "When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they’re referring to is for White people. This land is stolen land and Black people still aren’t free."

As expected, the far-right goes bananas and then of course, try to tie Bush to President Joe Biden.

Some agitators sided with Bush when it came to criticizing Independence Day.

There were some who agreed with Bush's comments, like congressional candidate Shahid Buttar. He replied to her tweet saying, "Speak it, @CoriBush! It’s almost as if our entire country has been brainwashed to ignore our history—and how its worst elements continue today—despite our self-congratulatory rhetoric."

Former MSNBC anchor Toure was far more vocal, tweeting out "F--k Independence Day. Not only were we not free, the whole reason the Colonies wanted independence was because Britain was moving toward abolishing slavery. Why would Black people celebrate a day so wrapped up in our enslavement?"

He also tweeted out his own opinion piece for the website The Grio titled "F--k Fourth of July: The only independence day I recognize is Juneteenth."

Rep. Karen Donalds (R-FL) decides to head to white nationalist network Fox to criticize Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO).

Actress Alyssa Milano also disparaged the Fourth of July by sharing a TikTok video of herself reading, "Reminder: The United States was founded on the unjust treatment of Native Americans, Africans and other people of color."

News organizations also took the opportunity to use the holiday to criticize the United States and its history. 

NPR tweeted out a thread of the original Declaration of Independence, claiming it to be "a document with flaws and deeply ingrained hypocrisies." It also remarked immediately that the document "says ‘that all men are created equal’ — but women, enslaved people, Indigenous people and many others were not held as equal at the time."

The Washington Post went even further by posting several opinion pieces that critique the holiday or use it for political partisanship. These pieces included "The Fourth is for complainers," "Independence Day 2021 is an apt occasion to celebrate America’s liberation from Trump," and a perspective piece titled "July Fourth is Independence Day for two countries. But for one it is hollow."

This followed the New York Times opinion piece that suggested the American flag became a symbol of divisiveness. In the article titled "A Fourth of July Symbol of Unity That May No Longer Unite." 

Let this soak in.

"Today, flying the American flag from the back of a pickup truck or over a lawn is increasingly seen as a clue, albeit an imperfect one, to a person’s political affiliation in a deeply divided nation," the article states. 

Sen. Karen McConnell (R-KY), Sen. Karen Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Karen Scott (R-SC), Sen. Karen Scott (R-FL), Sen. Karen Johnson (R-WI), Sen. Karen Hawley (R-MO), Sen. Karen Blackburn (R-TN), Sen. Karen Paul (R-KY), Sen. Karen Graham (R-SC), Sen. Karen R. Kennedy (R-LA), Sen. Karen Tuberville (R-AL) and Sen. Karen Lee (R-UT) are worthless senators who have no legislative accomplishments other than saying no to senate bills and trolling on social media. They are some of the reasons to why the Senate is grinding to a halt. They rather watch the federal government shut down or face another seditious insurrection. 

The same goes for Rep. Karen McCarthy (R-CA), Rep. Karen Gaetz (R-FL), Rep. Marjorie Karen Greene (R-GA), Rep. Karen Boebert (R-CO), Rep. Karen Jackson (R-TX), Rep. Karen Donalds (R-FL), Rep. Karen Biggs (R-AZ), Rep. Karen Gosar (R-AZ), Rep. Karen Cammack (R-FL), Rep. Karen Harris (R-MD), Rep. Karen Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Karen Roy (R-TX), Rep. Karen Massie (R-KY), Rep. Karen Gohmert (R-TX) and Rep. Karen Cawthorn (R-NC). They come are coming from relatively safe Republican districts as well. Like members of the Squad, some of these lawmakers are doing more activism than legislation.

Seeing Boebert, Greene and Cawthorn going to Washed Up 45 rallies instead of representing their districts shows how bad these lawmakers are. Instead of doing work for their constituents, they're posting on social media showing off firearms, thumbs ups with Washed Up 45 and trolling comment sections.

Bush, Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, Tlaib, Pressley and Bowman are no better. They are looking for likes on social media instead of results in their congressional districts.
