The US is a representative democracy, not a direct democracy. You elect representatives to represent your interests. Or these days, you elect representatives to not represent the other people you don’t like.
I mean if you wanna argue that that is the way it should work, I guess we could have that conversation.
(Way too many people I know won’t keep themselves informed enough to vote on representatives, let alone understanding every individual bill well enough to vote on those.)
But if you’re under the impression that that is how it currently works, I guess all I can really do is recommend you take a civics class or something cause that’s wild lmao
I know I’m not the smartest fork in the kitchen, but how are they able to just pass this when it should be something we get to vote on?

Prove to me right now that the average congressional rep knows everything they vote on as much as they should.
Prove to you a thing you just made up that nobody said?
I’m go with nah.
Fine don’t. Continue to believe that Moscow Mitch is better informed and makes wiser decisions than a well read 15 year old.
