Downvote me all you want, naysayers. If politics didn't work, then the people you don't like wouldn't be in power.

If you didn't use so many negatives in your sentence, then I may not have misunderstood what you didn't not intend to say.

I would expect people I don't like in power. They should represent more than just me, and most of the population has quite some different opinions.

I would just hope most people don't like them either and they look for the "next one". Otherwise you transform politicians in a cult...

I totally get you and in theory you are right.

And yet, in the USA you have gerrymandering and apparently _wanted_ Trump.

Twice.

Something has to be very wrong somewhere.
