If congressmen never voted on double edged swords or poison pill legislation out of principle, they'd all be labeled do-nothing grandstanders like Thomas Massie. While it may work for Massie, as his constituents are smart enough to know voting no on every bill is better than voting yes on a bad one, most congressmen would not survive that for long.
It is, solely, the fault of disinterested constituents that congress get away with passing laws for special interests and corporate lobby rather than the country at large.

Or maybe several hundred million individual Americans are each bad, lazy people. That sounds more likely.
- valianteffort 1y agoIt is the duty of Americans to vote for good congressmen to represent the whole Republic. We need to hold them accountable. Failing to do that relinquishes our right to complain about the things they are doing. Everything else you are saying is retarded dogma wrapped in utter brainrot.
