Another thing that has me concerned about this election, that has nothing to do with Trump, BTW...

Congress just had a 97% reelection rate despite only having 20% approval of the American people.
It basically underscores how broken the whole system is. Ask any voter on the street what they think about the job congress has done for the last X years and they'll tell you it's a disgrace and that we should throw them out of office. Then they'll quietly walk in to their voting booth and reelect their incumbents because "it's not my congressmen that's the problem - it's those other guys."
We'll never learn.
