The house, because it passes a bill, is not authoritarian, by nature.....
The house is represented by districts, which is why we have way more members in the house.
Doing its job correctly, it should
represent the general ebb and flow of folks across the nation.
However, it has become a mechanism of party control, and reach, as paramount, instead of constituents.
The senate is a even distribution of power, to combat advantages a populated state would have over other states, passing legislation that unfairly
represents their interest more. Its a check and balance.
Both parties are guilty of putting party over concerns of the welfare of the grater majority, the people, as in
WE the PEOPLE......This is why their approval numbers are way lower than Trumps, yet the media only calls out Trumps, as a means of showing dissatisfaction with him, etc..... extremely disingenuous, and they to suffer greatly from disapproval numbers, like car salesman
In short, most of these folks who we elect, care about themselves.....
FIRST and form their own alliances where it serves them the most, we are quickly forgotten and minimized....
How can we stop this....stop voting party line ONLY, but the best candidate that serves YOUR interest, and let that even out with your neighbors, but folks have become extremely tribal, and it has given us the current situation today....sadly.
Remember....President Obama said: "Elections have consequences" when dismissing oppositions request to participate in drafting healthcare legislation.....
Tell me, how is that welcoming everyone input?
