I don’t think you got my point.
Even with our access to Congressmen, (people living under naziism and communism had no access to representation, but we do) we still have a repressive executive branch.
Where are the checks and balances that should have been in place in accordance with our Constitution? There are few because we have many weak congressmen whose main interest is in their careers and not the welfare of their constituents.
Yes I did get your point. I thought I was adding a bit more to it.
