One really good example is the stroad that’s preventing good bike infrastructure. The roads that are managed by the township have bike lanes - even if they’re not separated - but the stroad is a state route, so we have no bike lanes on the main connection between these lanes, and limited pedestrian infrastructure.
This is why we have kids getting bussed to the school that’s across the road from their house.
So how is that situation an argument against people running for office? Like jobs are meant to be challenging and work, it’s not like being elected then grants you a magic wand to seamlessly solve issues.
I mean no, that’s not “listening” to me. That’s not what I said. That’s in fact a strawman.
You are allowed to feel uncomfortable and frustrated. That’s how you learn tolerance and patience. It’s okay to be frustrated. Try edging or ruining your orgasm some time. You won’t die from it.
Yes, the entire point is that NO ONE should have huge amounts of power. Your power should be relatively small. Why do you personally get to dictate bike lanes?
The only politician who won’t disappoint you on every issue is yourself. Run for office. No joke. Use your rights. Vote. Speak. Run for office.
Not using those rights is functionally the same as not having them.
I doubt that. My dad got elected to a town council and was pretty disappointed about what the system let him accomplish.
Can you explain more?

Because it sounds even more frustrating than just voting for someone.
It’s not about frustrating or trolling people though. It’s about seizing power granted to you by law
Yes, and that amount of power is frustratingly small, even if you’re an elected official.
If I listened to you I’d be out painting guerilla bike lanes on that stroad. That would be exercising power in an non-frustrating way.
