Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

You say that like they'll ever even see it. 100% guarantee every single one of these guys has an intern or a secretary take these messages.
At that point the goal is to so entirely overwhelm the secretary that they become incapable of doing any real work, needing to wade through mail all day each day to make sure nothing of serious importance is missed in the sea of angry voters.
If you do it right, you actually waste the time of 2 or more employees on their weekly schedule. It literally costs them money to ignore you.
Yep, my congressman has 2. Call until they take the phone off the hook.
Have things delivered cod so they have to deal with that hassle.
Do the same with food so they can’t easily order it.
Do it until they quit working for pieces of shit and they have to hire and train more and then keep going.
