Congress deserves to be despised given how its members act as a de facto rubber stamp for the ruling class’s agenda. Instead of serving their constituents, members of Congress serve interest groups and detached political actors at Middle Americans’ expense.
There needs to be regime change in DC if genuine political change is to occur.
