Our confidence in congress has been declining rapidly for years. Last month, a poll reported 9% of the population thought they were doing a good job. They literally don't have 10% to lose. They've learned that they can do anything they want and we won't do anything about it.
- AgentConundrum 15y agoThe problem with those types of polls is that they measure support for Congress as a whole. Only 9% of Americans think that Congress is doing a good job, but the real issue is how many people still think their Congress(wo)man is doing just fine. Everybody thinks it's somebody else's problem, and as soon as those somebodies else stop being idiots, things will change. Nobody realizes that they are somebody else's somebody else.
