We need a lemon law

Honestly though, a real democracy needs the ability for the electorate to rescind their approval and immediately force a special election. Politicians aren’t nearly scared enough of losing their jobs.

If I fuck up at my job, I get fired immediately. It should be the same for politicians.

I agree. I suffered a stroke in 2013 and saw numerous Dr's both at that time, and since then. I've recovered and it did change my personality -- BUT -- it did not make me an arsehole and I never betrayed my core values or stop representing at my job. Maybe I was lucky, or blessed, but if I can come back from the edge of existence and still choose what's morally right, I absolutely expect that from someone in a position of authority.

If can't, or won't, represent the people who voted for him, he needs to step down. If Fetterman had been voted in as a Republican, and switched sides to Democrat, Trump would have hung him out to dry.
