Pretty much. Things would be much more chaotic here if we were a direct democracy; Americans being short-sighted and superficial and such.
What pisses me off is how the only Democrat elected in my state is just a copy of his opponent. And I don't mean this in a dumbfucked, juvenile, "ironic" way. I mean that I went to both candidates' websites, viewed their stances on the issues and then let out a sigh of disappointment at how nearly identical they were. He only won by riding the last of the momentum of Murtha's reign.
