The interesting thing is that for many of them it doesn't matter how shitty of a job they do. Congress has a 10% approval rating. Cockroaches have a high approval rating than congress. Yet I bet 75%-80% of them get reelected in the next election. People have the idea that congress sucks, but their particular congressional rep doesn't.
Still, you make a point. My brother never votes because he doesn't think it matters. Whoever wins, he feels, will have no affect on his life one way or the other.
