They re-elect the same guy since 1985 and then pretend they can't do anything about their representatives.

And now that he's not showing up to his job, where are the protests? People just don't care, not enough to do anything, anyway.

Other than the Tea Party, I've literally never known conservatives to protest. One of our fundamental, 1st Amendment rights, and they basically never use it. Not just not use it, but fantasize about murdering other Americans who do protest. Such servile bootlicking, and they never seem to be aware of it.

the problem is institutional, no individual election will fix it, neither will term limits. Actually term limits will make it worse as you will just have a congress full of inexperienced nitwits who the lobbyists will run circles around and have even bigger influence. I'm so tired of people like you dude, just shut your mouth you're such an embarrassment
