Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary.

I don't think you should get a job in public service if you don't want to deal with members of the public.
Republicans have t thought of government officials like that for decades, they view the politicians they vote for as their boss.
Someone who tells them what to do/think, and they align their values to trump
Neoliberals have spent 30 years trying to get Dems to think the same way, where instead of a politician working for their voters and then being accountable to them, they want voters to work for them and never question their stances. They want us to be like Republicans and take the stances of our politicians instead.
The thing is there are very real and very noticable differences in the brains between conservatives and liberals, what works on Republican voters just won't win enough liberal voters for that strategy to work.
The only reason it worked in 2020 was people gave Biden the benefit of the doubt.
But lots of Dem voters never got over Biden saying that anyone who thought he could accomplish anything with simple House and Senate majorities were ignorant of American politics. After the reason we got the 50/50 split was the entire nation donating in the runoffs so we could get it.
So while I agree, its important to point out neither side has been nominating politicians who view themselves as public servants for a very very long time.
