          Oh yeah. If I remember right she had a primary opponent last election. Though I can’t say they’ve all been good through the years. It is San Francisco, so weird is usual.

        I guess, she’s won quite a few terms in her district. Everytime someone primaries her, she destroys them.

            Great. What would you like? The ultimate popularity poll for a political is an election, but what do you have in mind?

              If people are disappointed in the system, maybe don’t say the system proves our leaders are popular. Saying just about anything else would be less of a turn off.

                  I want representative democracy, it is just not what most people in America experience. Me criticizing the system is not somehow anti-democratic.

                  This attitude of telling people they’re wrong about the system is just pathetic. You’re advertising your own weakness to not adapt when the rules get changed.

                    The system is a representative democracy. You can criticize it all you want, that’s part of the deal. Just as changing the parts you don’t like is part of the deal. More perfect union and all that.
