There should really be a way for a party or it’s base to initiate a recall election. We’ve had some recent cases of Republicans trying to recall Democrats. It should be for “buyers remorse” and not “we want a do-over”.
So long as it’s a proper election, that same ballot bullshit here in California is braindead. Let alone the fact that it’s a free for all vote, while good old Arnold was actually decent in a doing his best sorta way well we got lucky 20 years ago. Imagine if a Trumper was in charge of California? Mind you I’m pretty sure they’d be locked down by the state Congress and perhaps even impeached on the first fuck up but still.
There was one that was more egregious. I don’t remember her name, but this one formally announced that she changed sides after winning. To my knowledge, Johnny boy still calls himself a Democrat.
Fetterman is the poster child for why the US should allow “recall” elections.
At least for Congress-critters that are, for whatever reason, not the same person that was originally elected.

See, I’d have said George Santos is the poster child for that.
Can we agree that despite how shitty he is, his actual attempt at being a politician is legitimately hysterical?
Like I think Andy Kaufman has haunted his soul just to troll American politics.

Honestly there should be both. Just make the trigger for the general recall an exceptionally high bar.

Yeah it should be for Fetterman and the people who run as democrats and switch upon election.
If there was a recall mechanism, I think it would be unreasonable to restrict it to just the party of the candidate

She took decades to change though. This dude did it in one term.
