There's a widespread misunderstanding about what congresspeople do.

They are not elected to represent the views of their constituents. Constituents, rather, elect those representatives whose agendas they most closely support. There's a subtle difference.

>They are not elected to represent the views of their constituents.

Yet another thing I vehemently disagree with.

I guess it’s a question of semantics.

If a rep basically says ‘I don’t care what y’all say, I’m doing z’, and they get elected.

Does that mean they got elected because everyone wants z? Or they got elected, and plan to do z?
