We the people of the United States of America elect the people that write the laws. If we don't like what they're doing, vote them out and vote in people that will write the laws we want.

To do that should I vote Democrat, Republican or Independent?

You should vote in your jurisdictions’ meaningful primaries, get involved with campaigns and causes that represent you and organise like-minded citizens.

Vote Progressive, small money politics. 7 of those people got elected this last cycle. There will be a small caucus in the house. It's a start.
