Nah. For starters, they don’t believe in climate change🤨 Second, they want to control women’s reproductive rights😡

Hellllllllll tf no. Living in other countries I see the big big difference in how the US government is smh.

If our government wasn’t full of a bunch of selfish greedy assholes, maybe. They don’t even listen to what the people do and do not want or agree with. They obviously only care about what a.) makes their own pockets fatter and b.) what can give them the most control. I don’t think for a second that the majority of those in government are in it for the constituents.

Only enough to be able to steal from us through taxation.

1. They make obscene amounts of money (they should all make the same amount as the median income of their state, in my opinion). 2. They get paid for the rest of their lives even if they don’t get re-elected. 3. They give themselves a fat raise every year. 4. They exempt themselves from their own laws (healthcare, etc). 5. They take money from lobbyists, which means that they’ll literally vote against their constituent’s best interests because they’re getting paid to. 6. They allow (and happily vote for) things that make rich people richer, like lower tax rates that primarily affect the wealthy (removing the estate tax, for example) and private prisons. 7. They refuse to vote in favor of things that would help people who aren’t wealthy (paid parental leave, daycare subsidization, universal healthcare, etc). I could go on and on, but my point is, of course they don’t care. Public service should be just that - a service toward the public. Instead, these people only care about serving their own best interests and making themselves and the 1% more wealthy. It’s disgusting and sad.

It’s really too difficult to talk about the government as a whole. Politics is never totally clean, but some individual politicians do sometimes care about their constituents. I’ve worked on campaigns, and I’ve seen it. If we’re discussing the current White House though, no. This is a very self serving administration.

No, they care about maintaining their power and lining their pockets. A large portion of US citizens don't even care about themselves or each other though or else there wouldn't be such a divide on issues such as universal healthcare, maternity leave, government assistance, harmful chemicals being consumed daily thanks to the "free market," energy-efficient cars, public school, college tuition prices, gun control, abortion/birth control rights, minimum wage, etc. Most (not all - looking at you TRUMP) of these politicians were elected by voters, and even those who weren't elected by voters were able to campaign and spew their bullshit because they had some level of support. Our politicians wouldn't be able to cause the chaos they are causing, and they would be forced to act in the interest of the people who elected them, if the people who elected them didn't have their heads shoved so far up their asses. A very large portion of the problem can be traced all the way back to our founding principles, and the solution to these issues can also be traced back to one particular founding principle, if the people who are supposed to be the ones with all of the power would exercise some common sense and critical thinking skills and pull their heads out of their asses and stop listening to smear campaigns and propaganda.
