I really wish we could experience at least a single year where our representatives worked to cover the needs of citizens in a collaborative, non-partisan manner rather than focusing on corporate interests and political theatre filled with slander and misinformation.

- abirch 10d agoUnfortunately in the USA, most of the house of representative districts are not competitive and an incumbent is more likely to lose in a primary than in the general. Working to do something with the other side seems to be unpopular these days.
