It helps to keep in mind what a somewhat addled Pete Stark recently told his constituents.
The notion that we the people are, at best, useful as a function of various “identity groups” to which we can be assigned or, alternatively, ancillary to games élitists play. Our presence out here in the hinterland and the fact that we still vote is somewhat of a nuisance to DC insiders.
(You’ll notice I took a little license in expanding on Pete’s comments…)
