Unfortunately the elected representatives don't care what the majority of citizens want.
26 0 ReplyHell, a good chunk of the citizens vote for people that don't support their lives or values. It's fucked top to bottom.
15 0 ReplyThat good chunk would be democrats and republicans
5 0 ReplyI don't disagree. The only real power us peons have is voting, and we are really, really shitty at voting.
3 0 ReplyWe are not shitty at voting, we are shitty to keep supporting the right wing duopoly. Not voting is a choice, and voting 3rd party is a choice. If the 76% of democrats that do not want Biden to run voted 3rd party they would win. People choosing to vote their fears instead of their conscience is whats holding us back
