You must be new to politics, lol. I am not sure if modern politicians even pretend to represent their constituents these days. Special interests first, party second, constituents only during an election, but only if you have a close race.
"wait and vote and wait" is the defeatist attitude. "oh my window is smashed, let's put a new one up. oh my window is smashed, let's put a new one up. nothing else to be done about it." you got played by respecting ideals over materialism.
