Uhhhhhh what? Are you being purposely dumb? Of course when I say call your senators, I'm not saying get them on the actual fucking line! Call his office/voice mail and make the comment... And don't just comment one thing comment about all the communities currently being tied up on the tracks. And if you don't want to do that have you donated to charities helping in marginalized communities local or abroad? How about volunteering? How about protesting? Whatever is in your capacity you should be doing it!

Maybe they haven't and are just pointing it out. Few do, and that's the problem. It's not democracy, it's representative democracy, but it only works like a democracy would if people hold their reps accountable.

So no, the ones suggesting to hold their reps to the fire, now and after the election, probably haven't themselves. But they aren't wrong, and it shouldn't be thrown back in their face but instead embraced as a good idea to start now.

Otherwise nothing changes, because other factors already contact our reps daily and influence them, that's why they vote the way they do.
