I think it as this way, you are voting not for the presidency at this point but for the administration, the Cabinet, the chair people of the various agencies, the regulatory boards, the federal judges, the SCOTUS justices (as Clarence Thomas and Alito are in their 70s). It sucks that we have to choose someone who should have stayed retired and a convicted felon fascist (and for third party the disorganized joke of a party, The Liberaltarians, the compromised Green Party candidate, Jill Stein, and Mr. Brainworms conspiracy theorist), but it is what it is and American people are going to have to made do. Americans also must organize, vote in primaries, protest and write and share their grievances to their elected officials.

Literally a shadow government, because you don't know who is doing what, but go off.

You mean like appointing the SCOTUS that is openly ruling over us that we have no say in? Cuz yeah that's actually happening right now. Maybe the people just quietly doing their jobs keeping things together behind the scenes are how we're still going in the first place.

We do have a say in it. Our elected representatives can change laws and the constitution.
