I think it’s interesting that you choose to focus on this part of the situation. To me, it’s far more relevant that the general public has little, if any, recourse through legal means such as voting. This is what makes political violence inevitable, and some would say, fully justified.

This is just not true though; politicians in the US are highly receptive to voter demands.

It's just that most voters don't agree with you.

		They are receptive to some small minority of voters, not to the public. Overall public opinion is systematically at odds with what parties offer.
