Are senators and representatives out of touch?

Question

i believe i have found a contradiction in the US system

Most Americans agree that their Senators and Representatives are “out of touch” and don’t care about ordinary citizens. However, when given the chance to replace them we re-elect them again and again.

Can someone explain this contradiction and what do you think this says about the American constitutional framework.

Answer 1

YES!

We can't get the best of the general public to run.

Answer 2

That's what happens when people vote party line, instead of doing their homework and voting for the best candidate irregardless of the party they are registered in.

Answer 3

I could basically say that very unfortunately America has become robotic; we just don't think on our own anymore. And when some of us do, we unrationally turn the back on our own thoughts and conclusions, and automatically go with the flow and vote for the candidate making more hoopla!!!
