That's political Stockholm Syndrome. I don't see how it's helpful at all to our cause to re-elect people who have ineffectively represented our interests so we can continue to get catered to in a half-assed ineffective manor.
The way the polls are looking right now, it's more in our interest to give the opposition every seat possible to unseat the incumbents.
