I appreciate your statement but it seems our democracy is more broken now. I haven't given up, but when a party is impervious to the will of the people, and when they not only disenfranchise voters in old fashioned ways but make no efforts to secure voting machines, it's hard.

I agree with you Senator, but the difference now is the people who get to vote on behalf of their constituents are not listening to their constituents. Sadly that’s often because $ talks louder. The government of, by and for the people is being bought out and we’re frustrated.
-
That doesn’t mean I think we should all just quit and throw in the towel. We need to keep fighting, but the goalposts keep moving.

ATNJ walks the talk. We helped multiple candidates get elected in the 2017 election in NJ, including our new governor, with canvassing, donation drives, calls and phone banking, events and boots-on-the-ground activism. We will repeat in 2018. Be part of it.

1) Respectfully senator (because you are one of the few I respect), I believe
@Winbaldy is making a nuanced point. They 'average' citizen does not have a say that's anywhere near to being the equivalent of a single wealthy donor. -
3) What they can change with a check would take us many months (if not years --and much effort ) to even get a discussion Started.

This is a different time man. The 1% are running this country. Congress/House all vote the way the mega-rich pay them to. Change comes when you all start drafting bills to end lobbying & get
out of politics, but let’s be honest, none of you will take

I want to have hope. It’s very difficult to have right now. There are too many self serving liars in govt now, empowered by voters who elect them via the pandering sound bytes they generate. Voters unwilling to do ANY due diligence will continue to spearhead America’s decline.

Voters fueled by hate. Despite being Christian voting for a candidate who stands for everything Christianity opposes
-
Preach it...these so call Christian's are Christian in neame only.

I agree with Tweetie Bird. We don’t have the voice we once had. It’s been drowned out by the almighty dollar of big donors.

I agree with your sentiment, but if you don’t acknowledge the rise of the hugely powerful donors and corporations you seem oblivious at best.

People have the power to boycott them all including MSM. There are a lot of us.

We can all do our part. But i will tell you if you research it, boycotting the Koch brothers is tough to do.

While I agree with your sentiment, that was then, this is now. When lobbyists are scrawling in the margins of a 500 pg tax plan and it all gets passed in the dead of night by a soulless GOP. The Donor Class won.

Even if we take majorities in both houses the damage has been done. The next recession will decimate the middle class further, and democrats will be skewered for raising taxes. I’m very disheartened this morning.
