The work of reasonable Senators certainly does deserve recognition. That said, the article is talking about political leadership and holding that power. Those in the background are important but are not the leadership.
- jollybean 5y agoNo, the article assumes that most people don't have power, and they offer no evidence for it. I believe that we live in a 'bureaucratic autocracy' i.e. where the things we argue about on the News and in Congress are only a tiny, tiny slice of governance, but that there is generally enough transparency in the system to cause change, driven by voting, public sentiment. In particular - think about how so many people in power are 'really sensitive' on a lot of issues. Literally, if almost anyone in the USA uttered the 'n word' in public - they would be 'out'. Just consider that: a single word - and 'gone'. That's due to sensitivities. Overt corruption usually amounts to the same thing.
