Your Nation Looks Like This:

Voters

But Your Congress Looks Like This:

42% of American voters identify themselves as something other than Democrat or Republican. Most of them are Independents, and a significant number belong to other political parties.

But those non-Republican, non-Democratic American citizens, many of them deeply political and highly patriotic have no representation in their government. Every sitting member of the U. S. House of Representatives is either a Repbulican or a Democrat.* And the two independent Senators actually caucus with the Democrats.

So 42% of American voters are without a voice in Congress. 78% of Americans believe Congress is doing a poor job. Ya think there might be a connection?
