We have 85% of Americans in favor of Universal Background Checks and

75% in favor of witnesses in the Senate Trial.

Perhaps someone could explain to me how revolutionary "people power" is supposed to get legislation through congress (and yes I know this criticism applies to Warren as well).

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
