we, the electorate, are in a position to hold elected officials to account for their actions once every 2, 4 or 6 years, depending on who you want to hold accountable. that means we, the electorate, are free one day every 2 years. the idea that the american system is such that representatives are accountable to the people is a fiction outside of that.
the only other way to hold representatives to account is to organize politically and bring pressure to bear directly on them.
