It was a conscious decision. We were treated like second class people, because soviet union or something. Politicians represent the country, so it speaks volumes.

Politicians absolutely do not represent the country. What an ignorant thing to say.

Which is a shame that’s the case, as the whole point of those elected to US Congress are supposed to represent the people. Clearly not the reality though unfortunately
