Presidential elections are one among many elections. And elections are one component of democracy. The NRA is a potent example of grassroots power enforcing its policy views effectively and continuously.
If there is an issue you care about, find like-minded people and see how they organise. If they don’t, organise them.
Doing anything against the current government is illegal in every country and always has been.
>A democratic society not subject to tight control seemingly is a very scary thing. Even more so when it is your own.
"Who watches the watchmen". Most of our western democracies are lacking checks and bounds. We can only vote who represents us, but we can't vote for what they do when in power. If we disagree with them we have to wait ~4 more years before we can vote them out.
