So true. What has happened that allows these people to get elected? And, even worse, re-elected?

I blame Texas. They know what a piece of shit Ted Cruz is and still vote for him. Almost like they like voting against their own best interest. Then a huge majority of them hate on ppl like AOC who just got over $1 million in relief for Texas while Cruz was trying to vacation

Lot of whataboutism in this thread

Americans, a large proportion are...

Agreed. Voting to pass reform is more powerful than any call for resignation from an individual who will never give it.

The lack of character & judgment it takes to show your children that hard times in your community should be met with using your advantages to abandon the area while ignoring the suffering of others is so disappointing.

Texans hired this guy & pay him $174,000 a year to actively work against their own best interests.

It's the 're-elected' part that gives me no hope

So, again the voters are the problem not the System. The Party system protects and rewards those that can fundraise. The voter has no source of reliable information. The voter always votes the lesser of two evils. Our “leadership” does NOT reflect the country.

Thanks for that insightful take, Marianne 🙄
