Congressmembers are only a minuscule fraction of the population of DC. And the rest of the population never voted for any of them. So the vast, vast majority of people in DC are unrepresented.
Yes, it’s silly to say they’re being represented. They don’t chose them and Representatives and Senators don’t give a hoot about what D.C. residents want on a national stage. They barely care what their constituents want. I have never heard them even mention the people of D.C. when talking about issues.
