I'm seeing a lot of North Carolinians take exceptionally useless approaches to "fighting" Duke Energy. There's no one you can petition on Change.org who gives a fraction of a shit about how many signatures you gather.
Flip the state legislature. We have these problems in part because you're not voting in "off years." And, yes, our state is gerrymandered to hell and back but that was also caused by you not showing up to "local only" elections.
Our elections matter as you can well see by all the bullshit our state legislature has gotten up to.
No democrats (or better) even running for your local legislative position? I guess you'd better go find one and haul their ass down to the election board to get them on the ballot.
Despite not thinking much of electoral politics, I show up to every election they let me vote in. If you've ever griped about my lack of enthusiasm for the terrible choices your party has on offer, I vote more than you do. And, yes, I do vote for your terrible "moderates" when that's all that's on offer. When it's time to do the one thing you believe actually works, you've got to go out and do that thing.
