    American lawmakers don’t fall from the sky. They represent the values of the american people.

    Lmao. You must have no idea how American elections work.

      Sorry, but this is true.

      Mitch McConnell has served in the US Senate for decades.

      He voted against every single labor rights bills. Every. Single. One.

      He voted against paid leave bills. Every. Single. One.

      For decades, the people of Kentucky reelected him. They truly love him.

        You’re arguing against a completely different point.

        I’m not saying these people weren’t elected. I’m saying that American elections results have become increasingly distant from the values of their constituents for multiple reasons.
