We don’t really elect our politicians anymore.
So, if the guy playing the role of a particular politician (ex. Fetterman, Biden, etc.) gets switched out and replaced with some other guy, I’m not sure it matters. It’s all theater.

You nailed it. Yesterday, Sundance published an excellent article on how the District of Criminals actually works. None of this is new, of course, to those of us paying attention...
A DC Cornerstone Issue That Must Be Understood – This Isn’t What You Learned on Schoolhouse Rock

Most people think when they vote for a federal politician -a House or Senate representative- they are voting for a person who will go to Washington DC and write or enact legislation. This is the old-fashioned “schoolhouse rock” perspective based on decades past. There is not a single person in Congress writing legislation or laws.

In modern politics, not a single member of the House of Representatives or Senator writes a law, or puts pen to paper to write out a legislative construct. This simply doesn’t happen.

Over the past several decades a system of constructing legislation has taken over Washington DC that more resembles a business operation than a legislative body.

The important part to remember is that the origination of the entire process is EXTERNAL to Congress.

Congress does not write laws or legislation, special interest groups do. Lobbyists are paid, some very well paid, to get politicians to go along with the need of the legislative group.

When you are voting for a Congressional Rep or a U.S. Senator, you are NOT voting for a person who will write laws. Your rep only votes on legislation to approve or disapprove of constructs that are written by outside groups and sold to them through lobbyists who work for those outside groups.

While all of this is happening, the same outside groups who write the laws are providing money for the campaigns of the politicians they need to pass them. This construct sets up the quid-pro-quo of influence, although much of it is fraught with plausible deniability.

This is the way legislation is created.
