The president is, and is supposed to be, just a dude – not a supreme leader. I get that it might not be politically expedient to sell them like that, but at least realize that whatever candidate wins – even an establishment favorite – they are subject to pressure from within their party.

So, join the party and push from within, or your union and push from there – or both.
