It seems like day after day far right causes are advanced in every sector of our society. Some days it saps my hope for the future. Critical issues like voting rights, reproductive rights, freedom of speech, adherence to the rule of law, support for democracy here and around the globe all are under threat from Republicans here at home.

In all of these cases (& many more) seemingly the only way to fight back is to vote. The problem is the right has no plans to abide by the results. It’s scary.

@gedeonm I mean, yes.

The bump stock ban ran afoul of the law because we keep voting in people who didn't write a law that would authorize the ban.

We SHOULD have been voting in better people this whole time. We keep reelecting the same people who didn't authorize the ban.

This isn't about Republicans or Democrats or the Supreme Court. We keep reelecting the people who maintained the legality of bump stops all these years.

This is about voters voting for bad representatives over and over.
