Maybe we we had a government of the people, by the people and for the people we would not be at the mercy of a small group of extremists who have entrenched themselves into government and choose not to listen to we the people.
Remember:
Only 70% of eligible voters register to vote.
About 1/3 register as Democratic or Republican.
Only 40% of registered voters actually vote.
70% of 33% of 40% is 9%, even doubling that to account for “leaners” means only 18% of eligible voters actually being represented
