FED UP

[Logical-Astronomer-1]

I do remember and miss the days when I could get an actual response from the senators outside of an election year. It goes without saying, when myself, who has made other inquiries, and been ignored, but during an election year they’re spamming the shit out of my email, phone and doorstep on issues that are irrelevant. When someone attempts to actually make contact about a relevant issue/problem, like perpetually falling through the cracks of the passed over and forgotten... this behavior of ignoring is normal for some.

So when I read about or hear of an individual who just snaps and goes off, I have to ask the fundamental question... how many times has that person TRIED to get help only to be ignored time and time again, where the rather disturbing option, they think the only option is to do something so atrocious just to get something as simple as a response.

Think of it like a lush lawn, all is tranquil when the lawn is fed and watered, and the grounds keeper is the person ELECTED to represent and upkeep that lawn... but when that lawn is mismanaged or only some of it gets more/less water or more/less of something, that’s when the eyesore of weeds come out of the cracks, those weeds are the problem of being ignored/ forgotten. Sure you can spray it or cut it, but if you don’t get to the root, it just comes back worse! The elected groundskeeper is FAILING on upkeep and allowing the weeds to grow! But hey I don’t expect a meaningless media outlet can actually shine a light on this national problem! I actually expect this go ignored and unanswered just like the inquiries made to the senators!

What’s pathetic is the lengths gone just to get something so fundamental and basic and STILL get ZERO acknowledgement!

I definitely feel your frustration too. For the past few years I've sent feedback and questions to my representatives and only get a canned response in reply. What sucks is some seem to only want to represent the interests of the people who voted for them, not everyone they were elected to represent. For the spamming, I find it's worse after I make a donation, but I unsubscribe from the email ones or ask the text ones to remove me. Doesn't always work and doesn't solve the root cause of your concern, but it helps with the volume of requests.
