It is not in the long term interest of politicians to solve problems

Getting an unfixed problem fixed is always going to be more important to voters than having credit for an already fixed problem.

This is how you get politicians fighting for the same issues for decades but only making token gains at resolution.

Just something to think about when you hear that 60%, 70%, or 80% of people across party lines desire something and yet somehow nothing gets done. For a politician, the promise to do something is worth more than getting it done.

Disagree. I think that way too many people live to complain and blame others for their own lives. And we also have a system of government where some are trying to move forward and others are only there to obstruct. It's obviously the best we can do. And that's because WE put people in office. Not just federally but locally too. Where the real legislation that impacts lives takes place. And there's where between 15 and 30 percent turnout is the norm. Usually about 40 percent for midterms. It's all on "us.'

They're completely powerless against NATO and ecocide. Europe takes it.
