Turns out most people apparently don’t actually want that. Or at least not that strongly to overcome other factors.

Weird how people seem to think democracy only works when their side is winning.

Neither major US political party has a great track record here. On balance, I prefer one over the other, as I'm sure you do too. But they're both pretty far off from my ideal set of policies.
