Yeah, I think 'dictate' would be a better word.

Because politics have long since not been about 'serving the people'.

If you feel that you can do good by getting involved, then you should try it, but you will be walking into a hornets nest, because STO are not attracted to power, so you will mostly be surrounded by STS.
I think society doesn't change for the better from the top down (given who sits at the top), I think one can make a much bigger difference by getting involved in something at grassroots level.
