What do you when your senators don’t have your best interest at heart and genuinely will not give a flying donkeys loose saddle about what you have to say?
Those are the ones it’s most important to relentlessly bother. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, and if you don’t bother the shitty ones then they’re just going to assume most people are okay with it. If they’re getting pushback from public comments every single day for a month then the calculus starts to look different.
Don’t assume it’s universally true on all issues. Horrible people can randomly turn out to care on random issues you’d never think they would even if they’re horrible 95% of the time. Or maybe can be convinced because of selfish reasons

Revolt.

I’m in Florida… I would love to see more about the 5% of the time they aren’t horrible.
What if my senator is Marsha Blackburn?
