I'd like to think they're all just Russian trolls but increasingly, I think some people are just selfish or dumb.

From now on, whenever I encounter someone who says they're not voting/voting 3rd party, I'm gunna ask if they've tried to reach out to their representatives trying to get them to raise some support for what they believe in. Or if they've tried nothing and are now just giving up. These people are literally supposed to work for us.
Believe it or not, even democratic reps are unreachable when it comes to antiwar positions. Yeah they might be "civil" to your face, they will hear you complain, but then send you a form letter in response, telling you that nothing's going to change and that's good actually. Feels like they could just say "fuck you" and save some steps, but I guess that's just Democracy™ in action.
Keep bringing it up
I've been doing so since Iraq, even when Trump was in office they did the same shit
You might have, but most people probably haven't. If we had more dedicated people like you this would be a lot more effective.
Aaaye, I got my letter a while back. I didn't expect any different, but I was hoping on the 0.0005% chance that they did a life changing line of coke.
