And politics doesn't care about you either. Or me or anyone else posting here.
Princeton University did a research study and found that the US isn't a democracy. They compared extensive polling on what the people want with the things that the politicians actually accomplished, and found that there was almost no correlation. The US is an oligarchy, and you and I aren't in the club.

The public point of politics is to stoke antagonism. We are supposed to become bitterly angry at the other team while choosing between Coke and Pepsi -- or in the present case, Orange old man criminal vs. Senile old man genocider. Because if the people actually started to act on what their real needs are, the oligarchs would be in trouble.
But in the meantime, we can make confident assertions on a forum almost no one reads, to show what good people we are.
