I thought the US political system was sold in 1913. ;)

the "elite" are put in positions of trust to represent the people. They (the elite) consciously decide, of their own free will ...(to destroy everyone else's)... To start representing (only) the "people" that give them the most money. The system is then redesigned to (be convoluted) prevent anyone from seeing what they're really up to. For the most part, the "little people" really don't have time (because they're not supposed to...) to babysit these evil pricks.

It's like leaving a 90 year old man in charge of a bunch of 2 year olds ... In a china shop ... and then standing there asking what went wrong after shit hits the fan.

It's not about having the time to babysit them.  It's having balls to fire them if they don't do their job correctly.  I'm sorry, but with everything that has gone on in the past 50 or so years, how are there still career politicians?  And how is being the incumbent such an advantage?  Every politician in office has screwed up on some vote(s) that were important to the country. (and more plural than singular).  How many times do you get to screw up before you're fired?

But the sheeple for the most part vote along party lines as they are told, instead of voting for the best person for the office.

True(ish) But it's the convoluted manner in which the issues are addressed/presented. Picking a candidate that has the "right" view on issue A (which they're probably lying about...($$)), may leave one hanging on issue B. In which case you get left with a balancing act trying to pick the lessor of evils (which is my guess for how the party line gets settled on/for). The whole system has become total shit...because majority vote doesn't really swing anything anymore.
