Our hands are tied!!

What can the average American do about it? If you're an average citizen of this country, working a full time job, raising children, our main worry is paying our bills, keeping a roof over our heads and food on the table. Most average Americans are a long ways from Washington DC and no clue how to make changes so we elect people that we think will support our opinions and try to make the changes for us. The only problem is the opposing political party that will not let any bill that will help us pass I.E. Mitch McConnell said he would make sure President Obama couldn't ever pass any bill that would help us, and DJT has devoted himself to getting rid of everything President Obama did for us and by the way....look what happened to Paul Wellstone!! Mr. Wellstone was totally dedicated to making changes for us and probably died for it. We all are victims of the right wingers that only support the extreme wealthy and lining their own pockets.
