Wouldn’t the correct response be to hold a press conference or post something on social media to communicate something vital like that to the people? “Here’s what’s going on, here’s what we propose, and here’s what we we think should happen next. Make up your mind and reach out to your senator, we’ve provided a list of contact information here.” Seems reasonable right? Yet almost no politician does this and instead we hyperfocus on controversial issues, kinda seems intended almost as if there’s an agenda being followed to me. So yes, I criticize and expect better from elected officials, if someone offers evidence to the contrary I’ll change my mind but I haven’t seen any evidence to the contrary that the man’s really representing me and I’d appreciate a ranked choice voting so we aren’t limited to two parties with a single option.
