And it's up to the people to force the politicians

How do you force politicians to do anything outside of threats of physical violence? Especially in this US system.

Don't get me wrong -- highly support violence.

Write and call them. Vote for one's that do. View out bad ones. Donate to causes. Share their stance and voting records so others can do the same.

Can you give me one instance where a politician said they received a call, letter, or email, that changed their stance on XYZ?

Even if I did all the research and voted for the politician that told me they listen to all the constituents, once they're in office I can't MAKE them do anything.
