(5,016 posts)Almost an unheard of reporter ... digging into factual data and presenting it to the public ... many congrats ... and please keep up the excellent work.
Now to the point of our conversation which is about our representatives and honest representation...
That is honest representation, not the kind we have today ... bought and paid for by corporations and billionaires ... we have agreed on that point
Where spinning the partially fact/belief wheel gets you exonerated from providing a vote that represents your constituents beliefs, or even comes close to what the representative ran on ...
I am going to point out that we could wait til hell freezes over for CU to be reversed ... and that is not exaggerating ... not even one iota ...
So, with that mouthful said, are we just supposed to sit in chat rooms on political blogs and complain away about this stupid representative or that one that takes thousands of dollars and votes the way the corps and billionaires want him/her to, or can we do something about it ... in the time between now and when we do get CU reversed .... ?
