Look into your state's recall procedures. Waiting for the next election is effectively acquiescence to the current situation.


No sitting member of Congress has ever been recalled and it’s almost certainly unconstitutional. Article I only outlines one way to remove a sitting representative or senator, and that’s expulsion by a vote of the chamber in which they sit


Congress is one power structure. States and cities are others. 19 states have recall procedures. The fed is much less powerful domestically without state-level support. And pulling down even a couple state reps would send a chilling message to the fed.

Very few red states in those 19...


My State has no recall procedures, that doesn't exist, the same is true for the majority of states.

Beyond that, my state is not the problem.
