You should know better. If the solution was at the ballot box, we wouldn't be in the mess we find ourselves in today.
The solution is to instill abject fear into the politicians, so that they respect the citizens they elected, obey the oath of office, and do the job they were hired to do. As it stands today, they have little fear of small segments of the electorate. They know that the rest of the people pulling the levers on election day are uneducated and can be manipulated.
Dream on.
