Please help me to ask a useful question. Help me find a useful answer.
I don't feel represented. I know that there is a process through which I am assigned a representative. I know about the vote. Still I do not feel represented.
I know that I am somehow grouped with people at State, Federal, and local levels and that we are assigned as a group to be 'represented' by an 'elected official.' I don't know the people with whom I am grouped and have no personal relationship with the elected official. And, I do not feel represented.
I am not at all sure about which question to ask or to whom I might address it.
Let me try to form questions which may be useful -- or not:
~ In what sense is 'my political representtive' mine?
~ What 'political' decision making is available to me?
~ What power does political representative have to facilitate communication among citizens.
~ Where is my political power?
It seems that my most informed decision is to give up.
