You do know that they have responsiblities outside of DC in their home states? As well as committee responsiblities. Your comment identifies your ignorance of how the US government works.
What really needs to happen is a reform in how congress votes that allows them to vote remotely. This will also allow the House to expand and provide proportional representation, and would nearly eliminate the ability to gerrymander a district.
I’m talking in hyperbole. Obviously they have committees. And sure they need to be in their home state for town halls and constituent meetings, but the vast majority of their time should be spent on the floor of the Congress. They should be reading and debating bills, not just popping in for a quick vote.
i mean obviously the machinery of how the us government works is his direct complaint, and his call to action involves changing said “how things work” because obviously they are not working. they do not read the bills they vote for, they vote how they are told, they are not held to account for not being there for votes obviously, they spend ungodly amounts of time calling rich doners to beg for money for votes. using privileged information for insider trading. and so forth
