How did we get here?

As in – how did we end up relying on this group of people to represent our interests at the highest political level? All their names are in the news for delaying this, vetoing that… why can’t bipartisanship reappear among their ranks?

For starters, we’ve allowed these people to remain in the same positions their entire careers without questioning whether they are still the proper representation of the districts in which they live. The absence of term limits is finally rearing it’s ugly head for everyone to see, as a result they reside comfortably in the biggest houses on the block while several of us are in the unemployment line.

They continue to manipulate us, regardless of party, to pursue the interests of their own class. In case you can’t tell by now, they don’t actually care about you and me. All these delays and negotiations are attempts to display/exercise power in a moment when all we need is actual help. As observed in the news, this class of people – whether designated as conservative or liberal, right or left, red or blue – would rather make profits for themselves first before even remotely acting like it is a priority to save American lives and jobs.

I hope you all remember this when November rolls around. These people deserve consequences for their actions, not us. Do whatever you have to in order to be able to vote this fall to be the change we do desperately need.
