Is it conceivable to imagine that 435 educated individuals acting on their consciences with the best in mind for the people they represent would wind up looking and acting like the current Congress of the United States. Personally, I don’t think so. Rather I see them in most cases as men and women who are party sheep engaging in ideological masturbation. A lot is spewed out, but there is no chance for anything to be born from it.
The party lets no sheep leave the flock. The members suck at the party and corporate money tit. When we go to vote, we look at party affiliation because there is no way to get easy access to a candidate’s character, qualifications, judgment and leadership abilities—the things that would come up in any job interview.
So in this climate, is it possible to imagine that anything—equal access to quality education, mental heath care, medical care, infrastructure, gun violence, cyber security, foreign affairs, and much more—will ever be effectively addressed?
