I like elected officials- they are much easier to deal with that the Party members back home, and if you don't like one- you always have a chance at a new one in a few years. Or can move somewhere they have an elected official you like. I also can't do that back home. Real decent country you've got yourself here.
I am assuming, based on your handle and picture (both of which may not be indicative of you, but I'll assume they are) that "back home" Is China, yes?
I'll freely admit that the US is a damn sight freer than China. In most ways, at least. Now, since you're an immigrant (sad, but true:) I can assume you know a little bit more about the US founding documents than the average American born person. Remember that part where they state that authority comes from the will of the people?
What do you suppose would happen if 'the people' decided that the authority wasn't the elected official's anymore? Any of them? What if the people decided they wanted their power back?
