"People voted for them, so they represent the people. "
That's some fucked up anti-logic.
That us actually plain logic. Please point out a flaw if I am not seeing it.
While not government, I am an elected official and represent people on a board.
You have to have a completely twisted thought process to call that logic lol.
Voting for your slavers won't make it democracy. it's a farce, nothing more.
That isn't just a thought process though. That is how representative democracy works. There is no slavery going on. Regular people can even run for elections, and have won.
"While not government, I am an elected official"
There is all the difference in the world. A *government* official can send armed men to *make* you do things. No other "official" can!
Yes, and no. Technically they do not send those arned men arbitrarily. They write laws, some of which see you arrested are caught breaking.
I represent those who voted, and those who did not vote. It is strange representing people when voter apathy is high. Except it means no one is upset with how thigs are run.
