You are the government. How are you planning to step up?

I will continue to vote, go to every protest I can that I think is for the right cause, and yell desperately on the internet.

If there’s more I can be doing as a good little citizen let me know. The power of the people feels like it’s at an all time low, government is overrun with money, corruption and authoritarians

Protests never accomplish law changes - the most they can do is bring together the people who care enough about something to protest it.

I was hoping you had an answer. I don't have one, either...

yeah and global warming is because he uses plastic straws. give me a fucking break

I'm sorry if it seemed like I was promoting consumer individualism, I definitely do not subscribe to that. We can blame CorpGov for a large variety of horrid practices in which we are forced to participate.

My question was meant to be thought-provoking and not accusational. I vouched for your comment, which had been flagged to death, because I think you raised a good point.
