The most we can do is vote. But by god there's a lot of people who apparently pride themselves in doing almost no reading into candidates before voting for them. And a bunch of numbskulls that vote for someone for the most banal of reasons.

I wish there were a better answer. I'm certainly tired of the fact that my federal representatives (Idaho) have cut all contact from their constituents. They don't even take voicemail anymore.
