What to do, what to do?

In a completely unrelated note, this also happens to be the title of a pamphlet that Lenin wrote. But the forum has lots of flame wars on whether socialism/communism is good for eRepublik countries or not, go argue about the issue there.
So I find myself as a Congressman, and 6 days after the election, I feel just about ready to resign: any proposal I make now is counterintuitive to reality or the ideals that I pledged in my original platform. My opinion, often pro-party line, sometimes not, hasn't made an actual difference in the way proposals have turned out. The country, although not doing that bad economically (despite my original fears concerning the grain bill), has been swept up in a storm of paranoia and Party loyalty...
Any advice from the average reader on how one escapes malaise? No, putting down the newspaper isn't an option...
In the process of developing a real sign off catch phrase... until then, this has been The Tribal Tribune.
(OOC: Didn't enforce it the last time this happened, but seriously guys, no spam. Any mention of "just follow the leader" or "Fight the power!" will get you reported.)

Stand up, dont conform, cast your vote the way you feel. You will be recognized for that.
😁
I feel your pain re your frustration with congress. It is something I went through since I got here
Whatever you do, don't resign. Vote how you feel, engage members of Congress on all sides and try to forward the ideas you want to bring to the table. This way, you can never lose, because you were true to what you said. Don't be afraid of failing to pass some of the things that you said you would. You are not going to win if you don't try to change things. Like Justin said, people respect those who vote their conscience.
Joran, it isn't about 'winning" it is about getting your ideas out there, interacting with other congress members, etc.
For example, I don't agree with everything Jeff says, but him and I have had some great "back and forth" going lately, and it has developed some of my ideas slightly.
