A “defeatist” RESULT comes from continuing to be fooled into thinking that sending faxes to your Congressman does anything at all. Have you been paying attention to anything over the past 20 years? Anything?
The system is completely corrupt, in case you haven’t figured it out yet. And at some point, you’ll realize that the only effective approach for our side will be something a little more aggressive than sending emails to Congressmen who don’t read them, care about them, or fear any ramifications whatsoever coming from ignoring them. But if you feel better about sending, you can do so.
You’re statement that I am “fooled” is, of course, based on one post and incredibly wrong. I understand where you’re coming from. My “two decades of observation,” however, do not have me not fooled. I didn’t even vote Republican in November, and I’m not sure, in good conscience, I ever can again. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to hide my head in the sand.
So, then, what do your two decades of observation tell you should be done to get something positive done?
Or do we just give up and move to the cabin in the woods?
