    was voting and presidency meant to feel like a Pachinko machine? (or Peggle) where you launch the balls, and you are separated by acrylic and have no control past the first bounce.

      I don’t quite get why you’re being downvoted because that’s honestly how I feel, and I don’t even live in the U.S. I feel like it applies pretty well to Sweden as well. At least there are options here that are like a 60% match with my personal viewpoints, but there’s no such thing as a perfect fit.

        It may be that I (accedentially or not) compared the quality of indirect democracy’s quality of outcome to gambling. Or im secretly making a larger more radical stance, somthing, somthing, revisionist social democricy has failed here, somthing, somthing.
