Does political representation actually lead to real power for our communities? In this episode of Cite Your Source, Angela Rye is joined by former Florida State Representative Angie Nixon to break down the reality of political power versus people power. We examine whether changing who is in office actually shifts systemic control, what it truly takes to transform grassroots momentum into lasting, enforceable change, and who really controls American politics—the voters, the politicians, or the money.
