Misdirected hostility? We voted for them.

I did not vote for them. All politicians are picked from a curated pool of people I would never vote for. They all tend to be wealthy, connected, and/or ivy-leaguers (none of these things are inherently bad, but they also don't play well towards the interest of the "common" man - small wonder that the middle class gets screwed). There are very few "commoners" in the higher ranks. Many are picked by the real ruling class, corporations.

Let me translate that. "don't blame me i voted for kodos"

Thanks.

Have you met Texas? The only animal allowed to vote here is the gerrymander. I figure it's similar elsewhere.
