    No, they don’t. Considering 99.99% of them lie, cheat, and steal the whole damn time (and for multiple decades on their way into said role). Ya know, like appointing Supreme Court “judges” that do their bidding (eg. Bush Jr’s 2nd term) and all that.

    No, there’ve been very few politicians that actually represent their constituency, and even the rare few that do, don’t tend to do so for nearly long enough.

    They do not represent us, they simply shill for their handlers.

      Trump made no secrets about what he planned on doing, and the only things he didn’t mention was the scope of what he was willing to do. One third of Americans voted for someone who said he would be a dictator for a day, and thought that was okay for their potential president to say and/or do. One third didn’t think that was a big enough of a deal to go out and vote against him, essentially saying they were okay with however the election turned out. This is just one example of the horrific statements that were made in public, on the record, that people didn’t think was enough to reject him as president. Sure, he lied, and I’m sure Harris did, too. But the truths were enough to damn him if Americans were willing to do so.

      He is your president, chosen by the majority of Americans, by action or inaction.

            Millions of us disenfranchised poors are just as full of rage as you are, son, if not moreso. Divisions among us is exactly what the parasite class needs to keep it all going, frankly. Maybe take a breath? 🖖🏼
