The only thing that stops this is something we’re not ready for yet.
EDIT: wimps.
And what is that one thing?
“Viva la Revolucion!”, probably.
Hot take incoming, apologies in advance for the lecture…
What is it about the newer Generations that they’re so binary about everything, that it’s all or nothing, and nothing in between?
How about we try voting in the right people into office first?
And before you reply saying what a waste of time it is, only bother replying if you actually have the Congress app installed on your phone, if you watch the votes that are held and passed, and you can name your Representative and your Senators.
Because they sure as hell not paying attention to you, and what you comment about here on Lemmy. You need to get more in their faces with your opinions, if you want them to treat you with respect and seriously.
And yes, it might all fail anyways, because money talks and bullshit walks, but at least you can look in the mirror and say you tried.
I can see why a lot of people wouldn’t use that. I found two other apps, one of which was riddled with ads and one of which was paid. It’s hard to complain about people not doing something when there’s no practical and free way

What app do you use?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sunlightlabs.android.congress
Edit: If that app does not work for you, then I’d suggest the govtrack.us web site.

If it doesn’t work for you, there are alternatives to an Android app to get the same information, via the web.
If you are a programmer, the API being used is from ProPublica.
I can’t wait to find out either!
