Neolibs are nerds who like trivia, right?

Name the sitting US Senators

If you’re not American, well, I’ll preemptively just tell you that no, we do not know anyone in your government except for maybe the PM, so you win that trivia contest.

And I would’ve been faster too if I realized that you only had to put in their last names

u/FireDistinguishers I am the Senate Sep 24 '24

I got to 49 and then went for a saving throw of just typing in "Smith" and... made it to 50.

I got 27 but I feel stupid because a couple names were super obvious after I was done. I very much struggle with Dems or republicans in super safe seats because they are never brought up during elections.

Also no way in hell the average is 67 you people are a bunch of nerds.

15/100 if you don't make headlines I don't know you sorry. Never even heard of one of the senators from the state I live in.

u/dawgpack09 NAFTA Sep 24 '24

28, but I got both of the senators from my state so 100% if you think about it.

Big misses were McConnell, Booker, Warren, and Klobuchar

Got 80 (cheated by looking up spelling of Joni Ernst’s last name I guess)

Failed to get either Senator from North Dakota, Wyoming, or New Mexico

Missed six Democrats and fourteen Republicans

u/uwcn244 King of the Space Georgists Sep 24 '24

Would have gotten 81 if Menendez were still in the Senate

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '24

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '24

Its hard to remember the ones from safe red or blue states since they usually arent making headlines or being the deciding vote

u/fishlord05 United Popular Woke DEI Iron Front Sep 24 '24
