      Fun fact: there is always a divided congress because the ruling class just adjusts its spending on elections to ensure nothing ever gets done in our favor.

      As soon as we start voting more/for better candidates, they start spending more. They haven’t even scratched the surface of how much they can spend to control the government; they don’t need to yet.

      As the disparity in wealth continues to grow, they’ll just have even more money to ensure their grip for generations.
