Politicians need to fear the populous again. But not because they fear to lose their heads but for fear of losing their jobs.
Studies already showed that in the US, congress doesn’t give a flying fuck about the voters. Once elected, they work for their donors and pretty much no one else.
The 2 parties system, in practice, locks out any 3rd one that would change the trend.
Between a legal corruption scheme and complicity of oligarchs owned medias, donors money is what keeps them elected time and again, not what they really do.
Now what?
The only glimpse of hope is the democrat socialist winning primaries. Is that a solid trend enough they could get actual power? Maybe, maybe not.
Note that it’s not so much better outside of US.
Once elected. You still have to get elected. Educating voters about corruption could be one goal. Giving them hope that could change. America needs a cultural shift in politics.
Funny how all you write has been true for decades and it seems they care even less now than before.
Well in one case the majority wants change and votes that way. In the other you are calling for a violent minority revolution that would be anti democracy… Political advocacy is a way to connect to the populous. Go, advocate, do activism instead of calling for violence on the internet.
