Just because you can’t solve everything all on your own doesn’t mean you’re effectively powerless.
What does make you powerless is refusing to act because you have to be part of a crowd to help, instead of some lone avenging angel who can solve everything with a snap of their fingers.
Also the founding fathers sucked and were constantly drunk slave holders.
Hey now, let a man have his drink now and again, or we’ll put another tax on whiskey.
The best Founding Fathers were the abolitionists among them, though. Most of the slave-holders who shat up the founding are long-forgotten by popular culture, except for Jefferson and Madison.
I imagine most would be pleased. They only ever wanted the voice of wealthy men to matter in the first place, and now it’s the supreme law of the land.
I don’t think so, they were trying to get away from a government that pushed too heavily onto the people. Regardless, it was a question that can never have an answer, since we cannot ask them.
When they created the United States, their Constitution only allowed the vote to wealthy male landowners.
They’d be exceedingly pleased with the way things turned out. They never wanted common people to have any real voice beyond dying for wealthy people’s property.

No, what makes me powerless is that 99% of people who vote make the same choices every election regardless of the quality of the candidate.
And that, I definitely cannot change.
At some point in history, voting was about picking the best, most qualified candidate.
In recent years, voting has become picking the person that makes the other color lose.
I wonder what the Founding Fathers would think of what their country has become.
I got some bad news for you buddy
This issue is not recent by any stretch of the imagination.
