The US Congress DOES NOT represent the people anymore. If the people can't have a say in their government then this is not a democracy.
52% of Americans approve recreational marijuana legalization, only 3% of Congress approves recreational marijuana legalization.
If over half of Americans equals a single-digit percentile in Congress, then this is NOT a democracy.
The U.S. population is 51 percent female. In Congress, however, 90 percent of the lawmakers are male, 89 percent in the House of Representatives and 93 percent in the Senate.
The median age of the U.S. population is 32.9. Yet the median age of the members of Congress is 53.
Of the total U.S. work force of 124 million people, only 6 percent are lawyers. 45 percent of the members of Congress are lawyers.
We must be represented!
