9. This is how an engaged electorate behaves.
Part of the problem, I think, is that people actually appear to believe that politicians have our best interests at heart but the vast majority do not. This allows them to get away with their criminal activity. When the electorate is engaged and politicians KNOW there will be CONSEQUENCES for their actions they are less likely to do things they know they should not.

What I find so heartening is that enough people in WI have had enough of the bullshit and are now watching every move these politicians make and are calling them out EVERY SINGLE TIME. This needs to continue not only in WI but it would be nice to see it start in the rest of the country.

I say expose them all.
