The representatives are supposed to take our vote, the majority of the constituents, to DC since we can not realistically do it ourselves. As long as they did that everything was fine. But somewhere along the way they stopped caring about what the people wanted and started to decide for us. We should have stepped in right then and there but we didn't. Now, after decades of letting our elected officials run roughshod over us, we can barely get their attention long enough to let them know we are still here waiting to be represented.
Nothing short of an in-your-face demand to be recognised will matter at this point. And if you make that in your face demand you can expect to be promptly deprived of life and liberty without due process.

They are not leaders.
They are representatives that are elected by constituents.
Unfortunately people are to stupid to hold them accountable and just re-elect them.

All except the president. He represents no one and is not elected by the people.
So I suppose he is a leader. Or the head of the administration. Which would make him Bureaucrat in Chief.
Among other things.
