What you would expect in a democracy, however, is that the people choose politicians who best represent their interests in a range of topics.
How it feels like in the US, is the people get to choose who will enact the will of industry lobby, and in the
process will hopefully take a few of their views into account (mainly for re-election purposes), as long as they don’t conflict with the will of the industry lobby.
Each year, there are a handful of seats that are contested. Incumbents win a staggering amount of elections.
I have a hard time voting for anyone who would vote in my interest. I usually vote against the party trying to destroy democracy.
My argument here definitely isn’t against your voting strategy. Please keep on voting against the destruction of democracy. What I am trying to say is that this is not the way it should be, but I am sure we can almost all agree on that.
OK so there’s no denying the US is a democracy.

Between gerrymandering, the electoral college and Citizens United, I would say there’s room for denial.
