alt Hacker News> The article specifically argues that it's extra bad beyond just corruption. That's the part I'm pushing back on.
They are elected officials that are supposed to be working in our best interests, or at least the interest of their supporters.
Are they making decisions in our best interests or what makes their pocket book fatter? Poisons the whole system.

Again, that's bad, but still under "corruption", which is not what I, or the article is addressing.

The American people knew who they were electing. They knew it, and they elected him anyway. Whatever damage results from that collective decision is our cross to bear.
