I didn’t mean to upset you. But you really should take a look at what you said earlier:
“Principles only count in politics if you have been elected to office and are using your elected power in accordance with those principles.”
This shows us you believe that unelected individuals—otherwise known as We the People—can do nothing to help the country and that only government get anything done.
The claim is false, and one of our country’s biggest problems is that so many people have fallen for it. Please reconsider.
We vote. That is what it means to live in a Representative Republic. Those we vote for are given few and specific powers. That system is out of whack and only someone elected to office can affect those changes barring an outright insurrection.
Go back to school... You missed a few things.
