It is irrelevant. Once anybody is elected to congress they become part of a society which fraternizes together, schemes together, colludes together, and looks out for each other. It's one big party with engineered fake differences to keep commoners bickering. Congressmen and congresswomen don't represent you or your interests any more than necessary to get reelected. Candidates burn unspeakable amounts of money to get their face in front of the public to get elected. And even if they get voted out for enacting unfavorable policies there are zero consequences and their close buddies are elected instead. You can only vote for members of the same family. They may be affiliated with one or the other party but it's fundamentally just one family. One society that anybody is allowed to pull candidates from in practice. Outsiders will almost NEVER be elected. If they are, the mistake is quickly corrected with a character assassination (Trump) by the Intelligence Community, which works very closely with The Family. This money comes from special interest groups which willingly burn that money to stay in power. Once in power, the elected ones kick back favors to the same special interest groups that allowed them to ascend to power (again, by allowing candidates and incumbents to burn cash to put the candidate's name and face everywhere). Most people only vote for familiar names, faces, those who they are told to vote for by their pastor or other organization, or along party lines. It is a miracle this country still functions.
