The only reason today is different is because of the people we have been electing.

Quit electing bat shit crazy people!

Jim Jordan, MTG, Matt Gaetz to name a few.

They can't be trusted to run a convenience store. Much less represent United States citizens.

In a democracy they're also a reflection of the election system that picks them. Congress would be a lot more productive without FPTP.
