Introduction
Universal background checks. Strengthened medicare. Legalizing weed. What do these policies have in common? All of them boast 65%+ support among the public. And all of them get shot down in Congress. Politicians point fingers at each other, but agreement on these issues should transcend partisanship. The solution is simple. Let’s shine a light on who’s really responsible for shutting down these common-sense policies, and vote them out.
Methodology
I compiled a list of common-sense bills from the last 4 years that are widely favorable among Americans (>65%) yet failed to pass Congress. Then, I cross-referenced those with each Congress member's voted-on bills, to produce a final percentage of critical votes where they ultimately aligned themselves with the people. Judging the president is trickier, since they can get their agenda done through Congress or by executive order. Therefore, in addition to a similarly-compiled percentage reflecting the common-sense popularity of executive orders, the president will be judged by a popular vote on how well they addressed the issues that got them elected.
