By supporting and running candidates who aren’t milquetoast poll-readers with passable oratory skills. A decade+ of this shit has finely tuned many folks’ bullshit meters and they are very much done with the status quo, or whatever’s left of it.
As an example, my US rep sent out a blast email a month or two ago with a one-line Yes/No poll question: “should I support the presidents request for an additional $88B for the Iran War?” Bitch, 1) it’s not a “War” as you didn’t sign off on it 2) he and his lackeys do not give a single fuck what you do or don’t support, they’ve proven time and again that they’re just going to do shit whether or not you as a US rep approve, and 3) why the fuck are you asking me? Your entire job is to know more about this shit than me and make Informed Decisions that reflect the best interests of your constituents; me. In fact, i should be asking you that question then holding you accountable when I disagree. That’s how this democracy thing is supposed to work, dickbag.
