Why American Democracy Doesn’t Work the Way You Think?

Why do Americans vote more than almost any people on Earth — yet feel increasingly powerless? The United States holds more elections than nearly any country in the world. It has one of the freest media systems on Earth. By every conventional definition, it should be a model democracy. And yet, most Americans believe their government does not represent them. In this video, we examine a deeper and more uncomfortable possibility: What if American democracy is not broken — but working exactly as designed? Drawing on political science research, including the landmark Princeton study on policy influence, this video shows why public opinion has little impact on U.S. policy when it conflicts with elite interests — and how institutions like the Senate, Electoral College, Supreme Court, campaign finance, and the modern workplace filter popular power upward. This is not a partisan argument. It is a structural one. We explore: Why elections alone do not guarantee democracy How money shapes political outcomes Why the Founders feared direct popular rule How economic power becomes political power And why citizens are invited to participate — but rarely empowered to decide If you’ve ever felt that voting doesn’t change anything, this video explains why. #uspolitics #americanpolitics #twopartysystem #democrats #republicans #politicsexplained #politicalanalysis #americandemocracy
