The U.S. Senate, as a body, is hopelessly corrupt.
Think about it: Throughout your entire state, you vote for twoTWOpeople to represent you.
That's one person per (your state's population divided by 2).
Your ONLY hope is to ensure that you have control of your State government, and that we continue to increase our control locally. By doing so, we gain control over the only Government which can truly claim to even come close to representing us, no?
The Federal government is lost. It hasn't been listening to the public in at least a decadeover 90 years, by my estimate.
Unseating senators who've betrayed our interests, on the other hand, is eminently doable, especially if we target ones who represent so-called swing states, e.g. Martinez, Stabenow, DeWine, among others.
