The original democracy was actually designed to appoint random representatives. What we are seeing is not democracy.

Or, I want people in power that didn't want to be in power.

Because we aren't selecting random people from a district, we aren't a democracy? That seems like a strange opinion to have, especially since the definition of democracy is fairly vague, covering basically any system where the people have the authority over their government. And I'd say electing Obama and then Trump, over the screaming temper tantrums of the two separate parties, is good evidence the people still hold authority.
