They have power, they just don’t use it in a way you want them to. They serve the oligarchs not you.

But the people do have the power to elect someone who is wlling to make change, bernie for example. Most people just dont vote for their best interest.

The people did vote for Bernie in the 2020 primaries, then the Democratic Party said they knew better than us and made Clinton the nominee anyways. And oopsy the two party system means you don't get to vote for someone who represents you, just for the person who is slightly less evil.

I wish range voting can be implemented somewhere so people see its power
