(20,729 posts)you gave a list of contacts for reps & told us the work starts at the ballot box.
here's why the 'rage'.
we voted for democrats, over and over. we've donated money & helped gotv.
we've called, written letters & emails, marched and protested.
they are not responsive.
they. are. not. responsive.
when we attempt to organize, they infiltrate us, surveil us, put us in 'free speech zones,' hassle us, arrest us & worse.
and then, to add insult to injury, we are told by democrats like -- not necessarily like you, but like some people on these threads --
that we're not doing enough, we're not doing it right, our concerns are mere poutrage, we want ponies -- i can't even list all the crap.
the fact is, our representatives are not responsive. we are not their constituency. they don't represent us, they represent, 99% of the time, the 1%.
the constitution is a piece of paper. we are not 'the bosses,' that's a joke, and we're its butt.
