    Do you think they hire someone to hit the delete button on their inbox? Their job is to summarize who is trying to contact them and why. If suddenly thousands of people are calling and emailing every day, they’re not going to keep it to themselves. And these aren’t jobs you get by accident, so don’t feel bad for them.

    If your senator or rep doesn’t care, cool, their voicemail just became your personal therapy box. As long as you’re not threatening violence or calling dozens of times per day, you can say anything you want about them. If you think it doesn’t feel good to leave a voicemail telling a member of Congress they’re a spineless piece of shit who couldn’t find their own ass with a flashlight and two hands, I have to assume it’s because you haven’t tried it.

    Act like you can engage in psychological warfare here, because you can.

      Yes.

      Do you think their job is to listen to constituents over lobbyists or their bosses? You are not important to them.

      If suddenly thousands of people are calling and complaining about something Trump is doing they’re going to go with what Trump wants.

        And why is this a reason to not make them miserable by relentlessly hounding them with demands to do the actual job they were elected to do?

      Just a while ago the news was that the DNC would do just that for anything Gaza related.
