    But they all are. That is the very essence of the “representative” democracy. You’re totally correct saying about “single elected individual” but having 200 “single elected individuals” doesn’t change much – they still do whatever they want. Your job is limited to throwing a bulletin in the vote box. After that, you are completely out of control, and all you can do is to wait until the next elections or make a revolution.

      That is blatantly false. You have just gotten used to the corruption in your shithole country.

      You seem to post a lot of incorrect information.

      In the US system of government, the President’s power is supposed to be checked by Congress and the Supreme Court. In other words, you’re not giving supreme executive power to just one person. Unfortunately since Republicans practically always do what Trump wants, we’ve lost that check.

        1 person or 200 persons – it doesn’t matter much. It wasn’t the point. The point is that those persons are completely safe to ignore the citizens.
