Congress approval: ~20%.
Congressional incumbent re-election rate: 98%.
The system isn't broken. It's working - for them.
Here's what we're doing about it ↓
@groundtruthsent@EricSpracklen Agreed that power has largely been removed from our hands, but if EVERYONE went into the ballot box with their list of incumbents, and voted against them, AT LEAST we would get the "next batch" of representatives. We need an easier "reset" button on congress!
@realCarola2Hope "Voting doesn't work." Voting in November every two years on candidates the party picked for you doesn't work. Primaries work. Threats of primaries work. Start there. https://t.co/lyFtE4MDw3
@defense_civil25 Runoffs are where incumbents survive. Turnout drops, name recognition wins. Print every incumbent on your ballot first → https://t.co/yASAQv3RCM

@CookPolitical@JessicaTaylor 20% approve. 98% get re-elected. The math is the problem. https://t.co/yASAQv3RCM flags every incumbent on your ballot. Free.
@OurCongress_us We love this, and if you don’t like what you see after following your congress, you can use our tool to help you vote them all out! @VoteOutEveryone
The longest-serving people in your government have been in office longer than Google has existed.
They've outlasted entire industries. Two recessions. Every job you've had.
And 95% of them got re-elected last cycle without breaking a sweat.
https://t.co/PPJ7h3Gwvn mails you the names of every incumbent on your ballot. $2.99. So in November you remember which dinosaurs are yours.
