I've never gotten a reply with my House or Senate representatives. All I ever get is an automated reply thanking me for contacting them for an email at BEST. They don't give a shit. The only power "We the people" USED to have was politicians needing our votes.
But NOW, they all realize that elections can be easily stolen - even with their many different methods and brazen tactics out in the open for all to see - with ZERO consequences! They don't need our money either since they're scoring big money from foreign countries.
So we, the little people, are of absolutely no use to them whatsoever now. We are officially 100% expendable to (s)elected officials now - and that's a really terrifying thought.
Very sad that out of what - 535 in Congress? - less than a handful of the are worth keeping.
Indeed! But at least POTUS knows now - with far more certainty - who he trust vs. can't trust. Trying to see a glass half full there.
Absolutely. Look forward to the day when Congress is comprised of Patriot citizens and not criminals with life-long terms.
Yes, every congressman wants to keep their job. They call/talk to their staff to see what issues their constituents are calling or writing about , at least in the olden days. If votes don't matter then they would be expected to skip that. They still need to hear from us and if you can pin them down on making a statement (which they in general will do to a common issue brought up) then you can broadcast it and use it when they campaign - make it an issue that candidates address. Contact their opponent and show them the position the incumbent took and get the new candidate to take a position. We have to keep up the pressure and be able to call them out when they lie or ignore issues . Right now due to the corona they have an excuse not to meet people in person. After that farce is complete we can meet them in person and pin them down on issues. We are the majority and can't let them forget that, don't let them think we are weak and give up
edit to add: Yes they are screwing with us so we can't tag them in social media however that should change if we can get the alternatives to twitter and FB going
