If only this country were actually a democracy and not a gerrymandered, federalist republic with eroded checks and balances and an antiquated presidential election system. Then we wouldn't be having this conversation because a sane and intelligent woman would be running the country.
Unfortunately the best I can do as a single voter in a non-swing state is continuing to petition my representatives. Even then you face futility by having to deal with someone like our esteemed Senator Cory Gardner (R), who goes on CBS to claim that all the people calling and writing his office are "paid protesters".
- hackuser 10y ago> Senator Cory Gardner (R), who goes on CBS to claim that all the people calling and writing his office are "paid protesters". It seems like a GOP talking point is that they can completely ignore political opposition and democracy. It's just wishful thinking on their part. Don't stop; it's not futile; the U.S. is a democracy and Gardner, if he wants to be re-elected, will need to pay attention to his constituents.
