Majority opinion is supposed to determine everything, even if it uses the roundabout way of letting US citizens vote for people, trusting that these people will appoint candidates with the appropriate aganda that will execute the will of the majority of US citizens.
Boy is that convoluted!
Dominique, spend some time studying politics (formally). You’ll see that what the everyday citizen wants is not too relevant. The political elite largely control the country. This group consists of those who’s life revolve around politics, political scientists and so forth.
Let’s face it. The only time when the common citizen has any clout is when the media is all over something and is on the same side.
What is “supposed” to happen is not as important as what “does” happen. Look at what goes into obtaining a seat in Congress and what goes into securing it. It takes millions of dollars to win and/or hold a seat. You don’t think that the money comes from little old ladies who believe in our country and send $5 checks do you?
