The problem is these people are voted in by states who comprise of residents who have brain injuries, misogynistic views, extremist ideals, and/or a myriad of other skewed thoughts.
So unfortunately we get stuck with the consequences of other state’s resident’s decisions
The real problem is over 50% of the voting age population just doesn’t vote
And part of that problem is that the aforementioned group of people deliberately make it harder to vote so that it comes down to whoever they can get more outraged. And guess what kind of people get more outraged?
I live in Oklahoma, and this is most of the answer.
The reason for that is it’s intentionally difficult to vote if you have a job. A lot of managers won’t give you time even if they are supposed to. The polling places are typically churches, or old folks homes. My polling place is a nursing home, and every time I vote, there is a line of people who can barely remember their own name getting ready to vote, and it’s easy for them because they live there.
67% of eligible voters voted in 2020
But much closer to 60% from 2004-2016, and below 60% before that. See turnout statistics. Definitely more than 50% of eligible population typically voting, though.
2022 turnout was 46%. The last time a midterm election was over 50% was in the 1910s.
And what make you think that 50% would vote the way you want them to? Remember that people are fucking retarded. End of thought.
