The turn out for the midterm election was only 36%. That means whoever was elected was not elected by a majority of anything. Our current government is only representative of 36% the American People. So how can either party claim to be legitimate when 74% of voters did not vote? It reminds me of my high school history lessons about ancient Greece and the fall of that early democracy. It was lack of participation by the populace and entrenched governmental corruption that lead to the fall of Athens. But, history does not repeat itself, right?
