        You are right. This current government is a “We the People” problem, not a “You the Politician” problem.

              So, “They’re pandering to the wrong people; I want them to pander by doing different useless symbolic actions.”

                      oh it wouldn’t!

                      So you agree with my comment you originally objected to. Good. Glad we’re in agreement.
