Please block trolls, folks. If we don’t, they just keep haunting decent people’s posts and messing with our momentum to get things done.

Pushing anti-democratic talking points that could have aired on RT? Telling you voting doesn’t matter, no progress happens, that both parties are the same or barely different? Just block that noise.

If anyone needs help, happy to oblige. If you can’t tell them from Tucker Carlson, there’s a reason for that.
