Elections absorb anger: Voting channels public frustration into a ritual that stabilizes the system without fundamentally changing it.
Policies barely change: Different parties win elections, but the core policies and power structures usually remain the same.
Money controls politics: Wealthy donors and powerful interests heavily influence which candidates win and what policies get pushed.
Choices are limited: Voters are often forced to choose between a small number of candidates who represent similar political interests.
Power is constrained: Even elected leaders cannot change much because courts, bureaucracies, and entrenched institutions limit them.
