@davidpmaurer@mastodon.sdf.org I'm familiar with all of that and yet it doesn't change a single thing about what I said.

Every single congressperson is there because we voters empowered them to do those jobs, and cycle after cycle we largely re-elect them, apparently approving of the job they are doing.

Cycle after cycle, since far before 2020, we have been electing morons and we should probably stop doing that.

Or we can keep electing morons and continue to empower the hundreds of politicians who show such dysfunction, who set up the situation that you described above with crazy people having undue influence over the operation of Congress.

Not to mention, they tried to prevent us? What they? People we elected, people we actively gave power to.

It all comes back to voters, and voters voluntarily give up their control when they stop holding officials accountable and just keep re-electing the same morons.
