Vote. And get all your friends, coworkers, and families to vote. That’s how we stop this bullshit from happening. And vote at the state and local level too. It actually can make a hell of a difference.
I’ve voted on stuff that passed by a mere 1,250 votes, and restored bus lines that ran past my house by voting and organizing. It’s kind of amazing to see it in action.
I really feel sorry for the voting system in the US. You have extremely gerrymandered districts in some states, and basically one of two options, and if one of them is corrupt and appealing to the ignorant, you just basically have one that you better hope you don’t disagree too much with.
It doesn’t have to be that way, haha. If we voted in great enough numbers, you’d overpower the 'mander and could rewrite the rules on how boundaries are drawn, which should be by an independent third party, NOT the parties themselves.
This dude absolutely cannot get near the white house again.

It’s dog shit and helps keep things nice and shitty.

A surprising number of elections (at many levels) gave been decided by a tiny number of votes.
In the United States in 2018, 88 state legislative elections were decided by less than half a percent
