Congress has a public approval rating that's down to about 10%, I get that part, most Senators and Representatives stopped doing the public's business years ago—they're just doing the incumbents' business, focused in whatever misguided ways on getting re-elected….
Now, here's the part I just don't get:
From The Washington Post: "Even in the most
anti-incumbent primary season of the past few decades, less than 5 percent of members of Congress lost their primaries."
Where the heck are the 90% of Americans who think Congress is worth just a teensy bit less than a bucket of warm spit? I guess most of the folks who are fed up with Congress just aren't bothering to turn out to vote…..that's another part I just don't get….
I didn't get it before, either...
Another take on fighting incumbents
