    Have you ever held public office? Do you understand the limitations and possibilities of such a position? Do you know that you could have done more in the same situation?

    If you’re angry and disaffected, join the party and work from within, decisions are made by those who show up. Angry people on the sidelines are sidelined. I get that you wish you were listened to by your representatives more, but they’re listening to many and there’s only so much they can do.

    Also, when being critical it sure helps knowing what you are talking about lest you reveal you know little and understand less. BTW, Ilhan Omar is a woman.

      Fine, SHE still won’t DO anything.

      Representatives listen to donors only, thats the issue.

      Yes, I could do better. Here’s a list of things I would try that no Democrat will:

      Draft legislation to limit ICE’s power, draft legislation to prevent local police from cooperating with ICE, order the state police to prosecute ICE agents who muder citizens on camera, deploy the state national guard to protect citizens from the scourge of masked kidnappers roaming our streets, demand each and every rep, senator, and politician in my chain of command declare publicly whether they’re with or against this regime, and use whatever power i have to force out anyone who says they’re with it.

      And if I don’t have the power to do it, then I’ll publicly demand the people with the power either exercise that power, or publicly declare their loyalty to the regime.

      If I were running for office, would you vote for me?
