You don't seem to understand US political system for as much as you rant about it.
Let me give you a easy example. We have state districts. You can only vote for or against someone who is running in your state district.
There are 435 members of the House they can all affect my life but I can only vote for 1 of them. Meaning there are 434 people in the House of Reps that can vote for laws that affect me but I have zero opportunity to vote for or against them.
That is why we can't vote them out of office. Add to this the issues of gerrymandering and many of these guys are impossible to remove short of shooting them...
