Our failure to vote for leaders is why we're in the situation we're in today.

No, your problem is that you appear to not be capable of leading yourself and NEED others to lead you.

Senators originally were to REPRESENT the individual states.

Congressional representatives were to REPRESENT groups of citizens and the President was to preside over the government.

No where do I recall in the Constitution that we elect leaders, we elect representatives and a President.

Dammit, they work for us and not vice versa and that is your problem!

You’re arguing over semantics. The people that wrote that Constitution were leaders. Many of the folks we’ve elected throughout our two centuries plus have been leaders. I separate pols into different classes, the ones that lead and the ones that mislead (politicians). I look for people that are the best. You seem to want the least of the worst. Right now, we need the best, and badly.
