I don't think the average American agrees with the people elected to represent them. I've never seen a politician like Lindsey Graham get booed everywhere he goes but keeps winning elections and keeps representing people that do not like nor want him there. How does that happen in the real world?
I also don't think every Democrat thinks Antifa is a good group of people and that we should really defund the police and push gender changing on kids. But, there's representatives who act as if everyone wants that and now that has become "Liberal".
Therefore, I'm not sure what the "Republican Party" wants, or the "Democrat Party" wants. I believe their leadership prefers division and "fake news" to stir the pot. I don't think Mitch McConnell wants what's best for the average American. I don't think Nanci Pelosi has a clue what the average American wants, nor does she truly care.
It's just my opinion, but I think it's time we start calling out corruption. I don't side with most democrats, but I don't hate them. I can't stand a corrupt politician. I hate a corrupt Republican far more than a crazy a** democrat with purple/Blue/green hair. Let's start investigating every dollar that all of them earn. Republican and Democrat. Let's push to cap terms at 6-8 years for every member of congress.
It's like we've become fan boys of a party and we can't see our own faults. If Clemson sucks at football, I don't need to sugar coat it. I can admit we suck and won't sit here a try blindly defend why we do or make excuses. Same with politicians. For example, ever ask someone what they hate about the guy they voted for? Ever hear anyone bash their own party for their faults? Every hear anyone admit what they're embarrassed about when it comes to their party? Of course not.
"Our guy sucks and lies but yours lies more so it makes me feel better to bash yours and I absolutely don't want to even hear why you think mine sucks."
I have no clue what the leadership wants. I honestly don't know what the average American wants because we don't discuss things anymore. We take a stance and plant our defense flag and turn off our ability to learn. We're just chanting our version of "SEC" for politicians and it's extremely weird.
Hoping to "learn" ITT.
