    Normal and good are also not synonymous.

    Shit like this has always how politics worked in the US, even back in the colonial days. The American Revolution was basically rich landowners getting huffy that they didn’t have all the power.

    There’s more people saying the quiet part out loud, now, but it’s always been about getting one over on your opponent. It’d be nice if it was about representing the best interests of the people, and there are definitely quite a few who embody that… but they rarely get any kind of measurable power.

    The only way to change that is to acknowledge it and resolve to change it.
