Self-Approval Ratings

One of the most perplexing polls in the currently political climate is the one showing that only about 20% of Americans approve of the job Congress is doing.  About 80% disapprove.

How can that be?  Did we not just have an election?  Did you not vote?  How on earth did the wrong candidate manage to usurp your candidate’s seat?

Oh.  Nobody usurped anything here.  The guy you voted for won.  Now you tell me he makes you vomit.  He is a failure.  You hate him.  You hate him even more than the president.

But this is not possible.  You have a democracy.  The majority wins.  You chose this Congress.  You’re obviously a masochist.
