Here's the problem I see with your perspective. We do have regulatory processes, we do have access to democratic processes, we do have freedom of expression, we do have civil rights. People instead choose to invest themselves in bipartisanship. I don't see how your argument holds up. Our country has things like gerrymandering that corrupt the process, but on a basic level... people don't care.
I think you're wearing star spangled tinted glasses if you really believe everything you just wrote. I believe you have the illusion of those things, nothing more.
I encourage you to read about the "dual state" theory which is absolutely spot on in my opinion.
From my perspective, you are likely an example of someone who was successfully convinced capitalism is infallible by the people who benefit by far the most.
