Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, also a New York Democrat, had the worst numbers of the four congressional leaders, 24 percent approval against 54 percent disapproval. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a South Dakota Republican, had the lowest approval at 21 percent, but fewer voters disapproved of him at 46 percent.
Change.org is a great way to feel like you did something, while doing nothing at all.
Call and write your representative, that way you are actually heard.
Definitely agree that calling and writing your representatives is more effective, apps like “5 calls” can help you automatically connect and provides a script to read from: https://5calls.org/issue/house-senate-leadership/
Do both
Did you know that people who post these polls get paid per signature on Change.org? It’s an engagement grift.
Literally don’t sign the Chang.org petition. It is a waste of time, and legitimizes a useless service.
Contact your representatives directly and tell them what you think. Stop believing that social media websites have your best interests in mind.
Edit: the claim is pure shite, there is no pay per signature scheme here.
According to change.org, they get paid 95% of donations made to that specific campaign. Do you have any reputable, non-social media sources that substantiates this “per signature” claim? I gave it an admittedly cursory search and couldn’t find anything that wasn’t an unsubstantiated social media post.
100% agree. Even if change.org is largely benign, it’s the type of media that serves to alleviate frustration without driving any actual change: a great recipe for maintaining the status quo.
They are a non-profit, how are they able to pay for signatures?
After doing a little digging, it seems to be an unsubstantiated rumor being spread via social media, but I asked op if they have any legitimate sources.
