That's the thing, we don't.

The Democrats in Washington do not give a fuck about you, me, our families, or anyone else. They exist to do performative things and make nice speeches, then go vote in a manner that can be charitably called conservative but more often enables fascism. For example, remember when they did their nice little stunt kneeling in Congress with their African wear? Those same Democrats linked up behind Biden when he wanted to militarize the police even more.

The only power you or I have is local unless you're willing to commit an extraordinary act of vigilantism or you're a billionaire. That's it.

Great. Really courting that progressive vote with comments like this.
