U.S. Senate unanimously passes formal dress code after uproar - Lemmy.world

The Senate passed a resolution Wednesday to make business attire a requirement on the Senate floor. The moves comes after backlash to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) directive to scuttle the chamber’s informal dress code, which was widely viewed to be inspired by Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.). The bipartisan resolution requires that business attire be worn on the floor of the Senate, “which for men shall include a coat, tie, and slacks or other long pants.” The bill does not spell out what the attire includes for women.

This is what’s important to these people. They don’t care about millions suffering every day, they don’t care about the climate going to shit, they don’t care about the economy. They’re up in arms because someone might not wear a full suit in their presence. These are your “representatives”.

They didn’t get into power magically. Every single one was elected. So unfortunately we get the politicians we deserve. It ticks me off that in a non presidential election it’s basically impossible to get even half of eligible voters to show up at the polls. If more Americans cared then we might get more politicians who care.
