Would we get more out of Congress if we split the seats between Greens, Dems and the GOP?
With competition would there be more of an attempt to serve the voters?

I doubt it. Regardless of affiliation they’re all cut from the same cloth! Out for themselves.
Sort of like Congresswoman Alexandria Ocascio Cortez... reportedly driving a $71, 000 car and living in nice digs, not something you find common in her constituents’ districts, viz: The Bronx and Queens.

@soar2newhighs She’s driving a $35k electric car, literally slightly under the average price of new cars sold in the US. And when she drove a regular car people whined too.
And omg, a congressperson making a regular middle class wage, and living in regular middle class accommodations. Stop the presses 🙄

@QuixoticSoul I just passed on what was reported. Didn’t hear any figure you mentioned or that it’s an electric car. But then I re iterate, not too many even electric cars in her districts she represents. The living environment in the “boroughs” is different than the beltway.

@soar2newhighs It’s a model 3. And I repeat - omg, person with a middle class salary is living a middle class lifestyle, amazing. There are plenty of poorer districts out there, many of them rural - but somehow you don’t come after their representatives for driving normal person cars.
