Russia never stopped having a cold war with us.
Maybe you don't remember getting under your desk in drills? (as if a desk would stop a bomb) I'm old like that.
Russia is not an ally.

We should never lose sight that there is one country on this planet more than any other that would love nothing more than to disrupt our peace, destroy our trade relations, and decimate our economy.
Russia.

We are not frenemies.
They are directly, actively at war with our nation and have been for decades.
It is a congressional duty to be aware of such enemies engaging in active hostile acts and behave accordingly.
#mepolitics
If they pander and sow distrust in our institutions,
If they use the term fake news for information that is unpleasant but true,
If they ever tell you a US opponent is an enemy...
Rip them out of office.
Every. Single. One.

Demand better. Demand people who will stop this circus.
#mepolitics
✔️ acknowledge it
✔️ address it
✔️ collaborate with parties
✔️ stop EVER considering a different political opinion as an enemy equivalent
Vote for patriotic, competent people who are not distracted by shiny things.

Snap your wallet shut.
Make a conscious choice to be done with Russian reindeer games, and demand candidates follow suit.
#mepolitics
If your candidate says "fake news" call him or her out.
If your news source is being ridiculous, demand objective reality.
Demand and reward collaboration, competency and ethics.
#mepolitics
If a candidate is silent when they should not be, hides, misrepresents their votes or views, speak out.
#mepolitics
The unenrolled single-handedly determine the outcomes in many elections. Flex that power and demand the parties behave better, support candidates that demand better.
#mepolitics
There is one that is a cancer provoking all the rest and tearing us apart.
Russia.
Call, write, stop by your legislators particularly your own party, and demand action on Russia. Not a trivial vote. Action.

@willhoar ?
This is more important than any of the other issues. The silence is deafening.
