Now that the elections are here, most of us are both shocked and irritated at the same time by amounts of
empathy and concern shown by politicians.

We wish that their show was genuine, but, we can only wish, knowing fully well it's just a show to beguile.

Some of us even dare to get acclimated to this insincere display of goodwill that only comes on every blue moon that appears every 4 years. These are opportunists that think to make the most of the situation while they can. Others are simply casts in the political grand circus who benefit off it.

Reality is that this act of sudden concern by elected public office holders at election periods should not be for election seasons alone, it should be the norm everyday for 4 years. You notice how they warm up to us at these times? Well, it's because they recognize where the power lies-with the people. We are the ones that have refused to recognize our own power, or we recognize but fail to put our powers forth.

Solution is simple. Recognize that you are the power that be. Wield your power consciously, intelligently and deliberately.

Finally, hire the leader you can fire. This way they remain accountable to you and not to themselves.

Conclusively, everyday can be in election mood. Just have lawmakers that are answerable to their constituents. This way, the constituents can recall them, if they are not performing, or simply use them to impeach the president or governors at federal and state levels respectively, if they're erring. By so doing, politicians are kept on their toes all the time.


I made a thread about the power of the people and how to effectively wield it titled A New Kind Of Godfatherism.
