What is considered the swamp? Like what behavior constitute Swamp behavior and culture?

In my opinion Congress people who cater to lobbyist and not the will of the people is part of the swamp.

What's your thoughts?

If you have been in DC longer then 5 years, you are a swamp creature.

That’s definitely swampy. Being a career politician is also swampy. The longer you are in dc the more likely that whatever good intentions you had have been eroded.

Getting your children on boards of foreign countries is swampy.

It seems like everyone is in agreement. Their should be a united push to for Congressional Term limits.

If you have been in Congress since the 90's and in some cases the 80's.....It's time to Get the frick out!

1) politicians (both parties) that go to washington to become rich and powerful,and will do anything to stay there, and anything to get richer

2) government employees that are part of the "system" that has their own agenda. and pushes that over the official policy

3) the intermingling of the government/media state, where information is filtered to control the narrative as the swamp was the masses to see

4) the lobby industry that promotes special groups/industry over what is best for the country/voters

I agree.

The lobbyists would have zero power if their potential to influence was ignored.

Exactly, that's the reason we are a republic and not a democracy.
