Yes, our government sucks. Compared to the alternatives, however, I choose to stick with it. It's not perfect, but it's light-years ahead of every other form of government out there.
A few weeks ago, I watched law enforcement officers "torture" a subject. To be honest, it made me shake my head and chuckle. why? Because the LEOs didn't particularly want to "torture" this guy, but he wouldn't take "NO" for an answer, so they had no other choice. Throughout the entire thing, he kept screaming "Why are you doing this to me?" He just couldn't understand that it was his actions that made them respond the way they responded. All they wanted was for him to calm down and sit or lay down peacefully on a bench for a half hour without restraints on. He knew this, but refused to comply. In many other cultures, and under many other forms of government, he'd have been severely beaten or even killed. Here, he was roughed up enough to get him properly restrained, and then he was put into a hospital.
