Let's think about that one for a minute.
What would someone mean when they say "they actually exercise political control over their own government." I don't know, the German people maybe? And that's in direct contrast to the United States whose government answers primarily to the wealthy and powerful, and basic political representation has become dangerously meddled by gerrymandering, apathy, cynicism, tribalism, and the buying of politicians.
TL;DR if you still don't get it: Your average German citizen has more political power than your average American citizen.

No, I get it. "Know it alls" such as yourself have a difficult time letting go of even the most ridiculous assertions and will continue to defend them so as to appear "smart."
The solution for your envy is to move to Deutschland and gain citizenship. Do the rest of us a favor and stop trying to make the USA your idealistic, European, world. Have a nice day.
