    The problem is you’re only focusing on one branch.

    Congress has an amazing amount of power… the problem is a majority of them are really only concerned with their own piece of the United States of Pie. Their first, second, and only concern is being re-electable. Start focusing on electing more people who actually have the people’s (all the people, not just their specific constituents, mind) best interest at heart and you can have effective change.

    Constantly focusing on the Presidential election, and only the Presidential election and you lose out on most of the power in this country.

      The problem is that the person you want to elect will lose to someone who selfishly serves their constituents, because their constituents vote for them.
