A democratic republic only exists when eligible voters vote.
The USA is an oligarchy because a majority, barely, of eligible voters only vote on presidential elections.
A minority, of about 25%, of eligible voters show up, without fail, for nearly every election. That allows them to dictate who governs from the local school board to the state capitol and on to Washington, DC. That 25%, that always votes, were accurately described as, “deplorables,” by Hillary Clinton.
Some of the oft altogether too silent majority are complaining that government isn't meeting their needs. That complaint rings hollow when too many of us are not doing our requisite duty of voting in as close to every election as is possible.
Our local, state and federal government can't do what we want because, by and in large, we don't show up!
The US Senate can't deliver, for our silent majority, till we vote for a majority of Senators that is sufficient, at a minimum, to eliminate the Jim Crow filibuster.
Get the message out:
VOTE!
Vote Democrat, because at this time in US history they alone represent the idea of keeping a democratic republic.
