I don't know you learned that.
Represent (in political terms) means "in place of".
Rather than everyone voting on every item - you vote for someone to represent you. Your Representative.
You did not hire these cretins to love you, to care about you or to make you happy. You voted for them because you think they will vote on matters as YOU WOULD.
You can try to obfuscate all you like with alternate meanings of a word all day - but it varies not a bit the FACT that noone can represent EVERYONE.
To represent EVERYONE - everyone would have to be in agreement.
They are not.
How many states are not called states but "Commonwealths"?
OLB wants to falsely equate the two sides as being the same. He cherry picks on par with theists when you debate them.
"Nobody is going to agree 100% of the time" and "You cant please everyone" is a dodge. Nobody is arguing that.
This is falsely claiming that those who seek to calm the tempest are seeking a utopia. Good leaders are not trying to create a utopia, but to minimize division.
My friend from Oklahoma HB, I think would make a great President, if he was famous enough and had the means to run. But he has no desire to. He has a very Martin Luther King Jr attitude in wanting all sides to get along. I would not run myself because I don't have the patience he does nor would I vote for a Politician who had my temperament.
But OLB keeps forgetting there is a far different responsibility for a President than a no name. No other President in my lifetime has been as vile in his vilification and scapegoating. Mitt Romney didn't act at that manor. McCain did not act in that manor. Bush Jr did not act in that manor. Reagan did not act in that manor.
Pelosi's calling Trump "unhinged" isn't a tactical or political issue. It is a concern expressed by our own intel, even by members of his party, and psychologists too. Michael Coen expressed deep regret in supporting Trump, and even Bill Barr got to the point of having had enough of Trump.
Sometimes a bully is a bully and a sociopath like Trump needs to be called out and stood up to.
