    You get the state you vote for, including the people in unelected positions which are chosen by elected officials.

      This is true to some degree, but ignores several important factors, such as

      • The electoral system was set up before we were even around with the goal of limiting our power
        • therefore using the electoral system to fix the electoral system is extremely inefficient
      • We are subject to extremely effective propaganda and psyops
      • There are significant efforts by the right wing to keep people dumb and poor

          No, the electoral system was set up by slave owning terrorists that wanted to make sure they and their children would rule forever.
