We really do need to be better organized as far as the government goes though. We can readily see the power of having DAs your side controls. The problem though is that trying to understand and control politics/government at such a focused, local level but simultaneously across the entire country is incredibly complicated. Probably one of the reasons the left loves huge government so much, the bigger and more complex it is the harder it is for your average citizen to even understand how it all works, much less have any meaningful ability to affect it. Whereas the 'elites' with billions of dollars and massive organizations who created the Byzantine mess in the first place can readily navigate it and control it. Same exact idea as regulatory capture with massive corporations pushing complex regulations smaller competitors and startups can't possibly deal with.
