Then you need to stop the very rich from dictating the national dialogue with unlimited campaign donations.
If you don't fix that, you'll never be represented in government.
There is no unlimited campaign donations. PAC or no. Are you sure it matters? Hillary spent 4 times as much in the election she LOST. People who don't vote are less represented than those who do. But wasn't it nice of Hillary's favorite PAC, the one run by the guy who used to be what she called the "Vast right wing conspiracy" against her husband before he went to work for her, wasn't it nice of them to hire the fired journalist from 'New York' magazine? The one that called the disabled veteran government employee a NAZI and claimed he had a swastika tatoo, and told Alan Derschwitz that as a jew he's only a guest in this country and should behave like one. Apparently they didn't care for the quality of her work either, the job didn't last. Some people DO feel represented by all this.
Oh, but let me tell you a little story. Once upon a time there was a Disney Princess living off her boyfriend. She decided to run for congress as a Democrat. The incumbent Democrat laughed at what a great joke her campaign was, and much like the rabbit sleeping under the tree as the tortoise continued the race, he didn't take up a bigger campaign. Somehow, he never knew that her campaigning while he didn't was working out for her, and she became the Democratic nominee.
Meanwhile, there was no Republican candidate, even though there was a Republican nominee. You see, if nobody turns out to actually ask for your vote but someone gets his name on the ballot, he can become the nominee. But if he doesn't bother to actually campaign, at all, how can he be a candidate? So the Disney princess ran against nobody. And still got fewer votes than the incumbent she beat had always gotten even when he did have a candidate he had to run against.
The Disney princess then revealed to the world she was an idiot, saying and doing so many silly things. She also revealed to the world that reports of her being a lesbian were greatly exaggerated. Much to the disappointment of the boyfriend she had been living off of, who must have been planning for a much more interesting relationship now that she'd come out as a lesbian. Except apparently, now that she had the big congresswoman paycheck, the relationship with HIM was also greatly exaggerated.
Meanwhile, another Disney princess has announced that she would run as the Republican candidate in the same district as the first Disney princess. She was going to show the world how much smarter she was. Well, as the saying goes, noone ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public, so maybe the first Disney princess isn't in any trouble. Anderson Cooper complains incessantly about the politicians he DOESN'T favor. Note his silence when he's helping the babbling fool promote herself. Certainly people of no more intelligence than the first Disney princess feel represented. Maybe she'll keep her job.
Or maybe. . . .
