Representatives don’t give one fuck about their constituents and what they have to say. They only care about what corporation and billionaire paid them last. And given the 2 party system in the U.S., they don’t have to care about getting voted out either. If they are a Republican in a red district, they can do whatever they want and get voted back in and the same goes for the Democrats.
The ONLY peaceful thing that will save America is getting money out of politics. Until that happens, and good luck with that, your representative will continue to wipe their ass with your concerns.
Agitating nonsense. We stopped data centers in my county by showing up to board meetings and letting them know what we thought. They absolutely cave to pressure, especially local politicians.
They still have to run for reelection and online propaganda bullshit isn’t nearly as effective for local politicians.
Representatives don’t give a fuck what their constituents have to say on social media. It’s full of foreign trolls and bots.
But if you go in person to a town hall / public hearing on an agenda item, they know that you are:
A real person
An American
Extremely likely to vote in the next election.
