Congress is involved. They have to prove they can govern. It's hard to be the party of "law and order" if you need only to kiss the ring for your release.
GOP house could hardly operate last round and … they won more seats.
I think this is funny.

People hate congress. Yet each person can vote to only change one congressman at a time.

October of 2001 they were up to 80% approval. Left to their own devices by Aug 2002 they were below 50%.

There's an argument to be made that congress doesn't really represent the people at large. Some people go on to make the argument that through gerrymandering politicians choose who's elected, and not the people.

2 parties and 2 choices certainly is a recipe for sending the wrong message.

I'd like to see some ranked choice voting.

The GOP doesn't exist anymore, it's simply Trump Party. They live or die on his performance, and kiss his ring to exist.
