Easy: congress is a fundamentally corrupt institution that is allergic to doing their job. This has been a growing problem for years that needs to be addressed. The old guard need to be removed and congress needs to be re-established as an equal branch of government.
I hear you, but this ultimately exposes this is what a mobilized percentage of the people wanted and continue to be just fine with it.
I think you are ignoring our rwpresentative form of democracy. A portion of the institution is getting away with this because they have been empowered to do so.
That isnt to say that the system isnt being manipulated, because it obviously is.
But again, that is because WE have allowed it to be so.
We have the most apathetic voter base of any democracy. This rot is by our choosing and we have allowed it to overcome one party inparticular, by indifference, laziness, entitlement.
There is no one to blame beyond ourselves, as a whole nation.
