How do you make someone liable? For example, democrats can correctly claim that they can’t get votes to pass most of their legislation right now, which means Biden can’t achieve his goals. Did Biden lie? I mean perhaps some, but a lot of the big policy pieces would get passed if democrats had a bigger majority in the senate. Also, our system isn’t very competitive, so how do you get rid of someone who lied? - No term limits in Congress, so people have a huge edge as incumbents - It’s very hard to primary someone and defeat the current person in your own party. - There are only two parties which have an impact, which means you end up voting for “one of two.” And when neither are great options, neither will turn out to be great options. Essentially, the number of times you can make a choice is very limited. (Basically to when someone resigns or steps down or runs against the opposite party.) and then when you have a choice, you don’t have very many compelling alternatives.
