> I also think voters continue to wield significant power. I disagree. Have you seen this famous study? "Professors Martin Gilens (Princeton University) and Benjamin I. Page (Northwestern University) looked at more than 20 years worth of data to answer a simple question: Does the government represent the people? Their study took data from nearly 2000 public opinion surveys and compared it to the policies that ended up becoming law. In other words, they compared what the public wanted to what the government actually did. What they found was extremely unsettling: The opinions of 90% of Americans have essentially no impact at all." "The preferences of the average American appear to have only a miniscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy." https://act.represent.us/sign/problempoll-fba https://act.represent.us/sign/problempoll-fba
