You mean the congress with an 11% approval rating? Yeah, that's going great.
- dllthomas 10y agoThat's a misleading statistic. No one votes on "congress as a whole", they vote for their individual representatives. And individual representatives typically have a high approval rating (and are frequently voted out when it falls).
- wyager 10y ago>No one votes on "congress as a whole" Exactly. But congress as a whole would regulate the Internet.
- dllthomas 10y agoI still say that's a little misleading. On any issue of national (or broader) scale, the people accounting for the difference between the behavior of my elected official (of whom I, statistically, approve) and the behavior of Congress as a whole must still be somehow contended with.
