Buddy of mine was sick of "the system" and was going to change it. He got on city council of a tiny little town and found out he couldn't change anything. So he ran for mayor, got it, and found out he still couldn't change anything meaningful.
He did do some good things for the town, some tourism stuff and slapped down a costly dog park but that's it.
His words to me, "I can't do anything unless the state okays it, and they can't do anything unless the feds okay it."
Not saying no one should run, just understand that its all designed to keep you from rocking the boat
Well, revolutions and revivals.
Correct. Political systems aren't designed to be changed. Change only comes through revolution, which westerners, especially Americans, should know.
"I can't do anything unless the state okays it, and they can't do anything unless the feds okay it."
That's just it, you have to do it anyways. And you have to have the people with guns behind you to make it happen.
