(1,975 posts)There is a very large "Stay in Your Lane" attitude. Its why nothing really seems to change, Junior politicians are told to keep their head down, learn the ropes. Then in maybe 3 or 4 years, they will get put on an important committee if they play their cards right. Sounds inspiring doesnt it?
Its also another thing that I hate about politics. Your turn, his turn, her turn, all depends on seniority and who has put in their dues. Its why there was such a furball between Hillary & Sanders. People thought Bernie should have never stepped up because it was Hillarys turn, it ended up dividing the party. It some ways it was good, look at how many new Freshmen we have this midterm, not just in numbers but there are more women, more minorities, etc. So we will have to wait and see how this all turns out.
