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.
Many US Laws are in opposition to public sentiment. Especially on healthcare, abortion, and taxes on the wealthy. The US is not representative of the interests of American citizens, only the interests of the donor class and corporations
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.

Are they even allowed to primary her is the better question
