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.
If our majority doesn't show up in 2022, and beyond, there are elements of the Qpublican party being positioned to rig elections that they don't win so that that no longer matters... If that is allowed to happen the USA will switch from oligarchy to authoritarian and what you wanted from the Democratic party will never, can no longer, happen.
Don't believe it? Watch the US House's investigation of the January 6th, 2021 insurrection, and the DOJ investigations into the Republican/Qpublican party. It ain't gonna be pretty! It will document how we lost our democratic republic.
Get the message out:
VOTE!
Vote Democrat, because at this time in US history they alone represent the idea of keeping a democratic republic.
Remember that 74% (99% - 25% = 74%) of the votes wins no matter how much money is thrown into the elections. That equation becomes history, unworkable, if we don't win by a large margin in 2022; and beyond.
