When all it takes to stop them is the nonbinding opinion of an unelected advisor, are they really trying, though?

Have you tried voting harder this midterm?

Maybe if Democratic legislators vote harder, the Republicans won't be able to stop them!

It should be like one of those buttons you hit with a hammer at a fair. Higher up it goes, the more your vote counts!
