CWO4 Terrence Clark - Yes sir. I'm en route to the front. The next step for me is transferring to a UC in fall 2023 in pursuit of a degree in Law.

You have a valid point. I also think there is a lot of "voting against" by both sides. So, if you have a Dem running against an incumbent Rep, the Republicans will vote for the incumbent rather than vote for the Dem, and vice-versa.
Some people claim they vote for the person and not the party, but statistics show different.

Good question. There are a number of good answers in response on this thread.

Here is a good source for data on our elected officials;
https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R46705


The average age of Members of the House at the beginning of the 117th Congress was 58.4 years; of
Senators, 64.3 years.

Right, but the rest of Americans struggle while they live high on the hog.

Politicians have forgotten that they were elected to serve the people, now they serve themselves or and ideology.

I think it's the people who have forgotten. The people are allowing politicians to run this country like it's their own game of Risk.
