E1627: DC And Media Aren't Used To This And They Are Glitching

Politics are supposed to take place in Congress. Representatives from various regions and with various interests are intended to work together to develop legislative solutions from the ground up. Legislation should be enacted at the culmination of a process of discovery, in committees empowered to evaluate expert and constituency debates. This procedure fosters agreement. It allows the people to hear and be heard from opposing viewpoints. All of this is reversed in the Pelosi model.
