Is this satire? Or haven't you noticed that what actually happens is that the politicians are all owned by the elite 1%, and they allow you to choose between politician A and politician B who both take their orders from the elite to give you the illusion that the government is the 99% ruling the 1%.
Then you must introduce necessary reforms or perish as Neanderthals of political system.
In any case the system works as intended
It will be very interesting to see if USA swims or drowns from appropriately afar.
I have already supplied myself with plenty of roasted corn and a high speed internet connection so I can stream the political car crash at the highest bitrate available to humankind.
