we're Lucky-Damned lucky if 3%-4% in congress And state houses are doing the Peoples work. I believe I have over estimated that number.
The ones who Do work for the people are given very little media time (think Bernie/Warren), they're out ranked, outnumbered and Definitely Out Moneyed.
It is up to us to review voting records and sift thru the murky mess that has become the "representative" members of the Democratic Party.
Democrats have taken up the dark and harmful GOP practice of coddling the very privileged by worshipping money over country, imo.
