Members of both chambers of Congress have a near 100% reelection rate. The only time a politician is replaced is if they decide to retire or their own party doesn't support them in the primaries. Even if Americans really have "so little faith in Uncle Sam" they definitely don't show it in the voting booth.

It's a demonstration of that lack of faith that they see the candidates, then rationally decide their time would be better spent doing anything but voting.

Maybe it’s time to become single issue shark fin voters.
