Because you're not doing it. Nor him, nor her, nor I. Because somebody has to actually do it, not just muse that somebody else should do it.
- Houshalter 13y agoWell what can we do except vote? Maybe right a few angry letters? There isn't really anything that I know I can do to help.
- ketralnis 13y agoI don't pretend to know either. Could it be changed by voting? This has presumably spanned more than one party's rule in any individual chamber and in practise, the party is the only choice. Do letters work? I'm in Feinstein's district and she makes it pretty clear that she likes things the way they are. Protest? Does that actually do anything? It's essentially asking someone to voluntarily cede power because "pretty please". Has anything actually been changed by a march in the last decade? I'm not actually sure I'd like a world where a mob's protest is a successful way to change things. Revolt? I don't hate everything the US Government does and I do hate a higher percentage of what some other governments do, so I'd hate to replace this one with worse. We're already pretty far to the right of most other comparable nations. The last thing we need is a constitution written after privacy has been essentially written off. I also value my personal safety, selfish as that sounds. So I wish I knew too. Wishing on the internet that somebody would do "something" about it sure isn't working, but I don't know what would.
