Study: Congress literally doesn’t care what you think. The preferences of the average American appear to have only a miniscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy. (act.represent.us)

if one of the parties wants to pick up votes in your district they look at what people voted for in the past and try to either adopt that platform

Maybe, but not the way you think.

If the democratic party gave a fuck about what their party thinks they would have moved further left to scoop up the Bernie supporters. Instead they keep moving right.

they keep doing that because people keep voting for them. stop voting for them.

if all the people begging the democrats to move "left" always vote for them anyway, why would the party ever meet their demands when it could pick up more support by moving "right" and courting the opposition's base?

stop supporting parties that don't align with your values and politics!
