Lets face it, were all just a bunch of suckers when it comes to the U.S. House of Representatives. It does not matter which party is in power, they both play us and pit us against one another and it needs to stop, and the only way to stop it is through term limits. But getting term limits would require Democrats and Republicans to recognize we are being played by our representatives, come together, speak as one and demand change with the same ferocity and pressure as BLM and abortion rights movements put on politicians now.

It has always been my belief that the House of Representatives was called the "Peoples House" and made a two year position by the founders because they always wanted the House Chamber to be populated with representatives from all across the nation providing a stream of fresh ideas coming directly from the people. In Contrast, the Senate with their six year terms were supposed to be the wise men who would tamp down any unreasonable legislation from the House. Nowadays, if it was not for the different terms, you would not be able to distinguish the difference between the two.

So why do we have House members that never leave? They only have two year terms, so the day they get reelected they have to start fund raising to get ready for the next election. Lets take Nancy Pelosi for example, elected to Congress in 1987, means she has been serving for 33 years, which in turn means she has been fund raising and trying to get reelected for at least 16 of those years. When a Congress person has to spend that much time fund raising and trying to get elected they are not really to worried about serving the people and doing their job, so for them its just easier to campaign for the two years by taking up hard core ridiculous positions on the left or right, that they no will drive a wedge between us (the suckers) and divide the country.

I have so much more to say on this, but I would like to hear your thoughts.

Aside from there should be term limits, nothing more to add, you nailed that one square on the head. The citizens are being played, been that way now for decades and only getting worse.
