> Elections should, at least in theory, be enough to remove representatives who are no longer representing you. With congressional reps having something of a 90% re-election rate, but like an 8% approval rating, I'm not sure if the problem is only a "lesser-of-two-evils" issue, or if voters like THEIR congressman, but think everyone else sucks.

@fu The #twin_parties go out of their way to ensure that elections cannot easily overturn non-representative representatives. I'm sure you've heard of gerrymandering, but that's only part of what the parties do to deprive people of viable choices and stick them with the same crop of do-nothing-for-the-state's-people candidates.
