We hold the power to over throw the government every election cycle. As long as that is true, we are the government and get exactly what we choose to have. Even not voting is part of that choice. We only have ourselfs to blame. We are the government.
Technically yes. In practice no. The system is rigged by partisanship, lobbyists and a media intent on furthering the divide.
There are too many systems in place to stop us from actually being able to effect change for the statement "we are the government" to be true. Complacency can be blamed on the populous allowing us to get here, but ~40 years of bad law/policies have effectively removed us from the loop.
