    I have no power over what republicans do because I don’t vote for them and never have. There is no reason for them to acknowledge me. Therefore I can scream to the high heavens about them sucking, and they won’t change a thing. Democrats I’ve voted for before, they actually have reason to listen to what I want to happen because it can net or cost them a vote.

    Ill tell you what, you go yell at republicans and see how much progress you make, and I’ll continue to raise my concerns to those that have reason to listen to them.

      Living in a red state it feels like screaming into a void, as unfortunately the only discernable desires from the right wing base are “please tread on me, corporations” and “please shield my kids from new ideas,” with an endless supply of pundits and politicians selling that shtick.
