Corporations and the ultra wealthy are buying votes through lobbying and it’s perfectly legal. Our system is corrupt but they don’t need to hide it. There’s no need to pretend that politicians represent their constituents.
Last time it was this bad, the 17th Amendment was added. Sure would be nice if they could think of a new amendment to address the modern take on the problem. It’s hard enough for the idiots in congress to pass basic money bills, so I don’t really expect anything to happen. I hope I’m surprised.
