The US government is structured such that, although it operates as a democracy, you don't feel like you have that much control over how the government operates.
The US wants to invade Iraq? Alrighty then. California wants to dump $100 billion into a single rail line? Sure. Boston wants to defund transit until it literally catches on fire? Why not. Across every level of government, you're sort of left wondering who they're listening to.
I particularly enjoyed when the parliamentarian when brought out to kill the $15 minimum wage proposal being included in a Bill, leading to many Americans finding out they had the parliamentarian in the first place.
