@ChrisMayLA6 let's face it, our political leaders, at least in democracies, are our leaders because we elected them.
The American voter elected a felon, who says that #ClimateChange is a hoax, but believes that legal immigrants from Haiti eat cats and dogs and are illegally in the US. This is what just was elected ... Don't tell me that it's politicians who don't take decisive action against the looming #ClimateBreakdown. It's the majority of voters who think cheaper groceries and white supremacy are worth electing a climate denying, demented, pathological liar and con man into the White House. That is who is not doing nearly enough #WeThePeople ...

@RulesBuster @ChrisMayLA6 Well, roughly a third voted for him. And another third didn't care. But that does mean a third voted against him.
In the UK likewise, although Labour won a "landslide", they did so with a near record low number of votes.
So it's not true for everyone that their leaders are who they voted for. In fact it's a characteristic of many democracies that generally *most* people get the leader they didn't vote for.
