Super cynical. Those people hold outsized power, but they are not invincible by any stretch of the imagination. We hold the power in that we elect the public officials. They care about what we think also.
I don't know what you mean by "fact", but your vote certainly holds less proportional power to influence a politician than that of 1/(population of the us). Politicians straight-up don't care about your opinion unless you can show up as a meaningful horde, and judging by the reaction to the Israeli invasion of Palestine that doesn't hold much water either.
