    FYI, it’s no on else’s job to educate you. And that’s not the attitude one learns with

    That said, gets my take: there’s three branches of government. All three have been relatively compromised. To your main question, Congress controls legislation and it’s been compromised because it over-represents a specific demographic (read: mostly white people places with relatively low populations). And well, American whites are a special bunch. The executive branch is compromised in a large part for the same reason - the pres is elected via electoral college which again over-represents white (I mean, wtf is there two Dakotas? We barely need one and they get 4 senators even though only 5 people live in each state).
