Winning By a Landslide and other politicspeak

I was just talking with The Wife about the idea of all of human issues as a big Chuck E Cheese Wack-a-Mole game.  If every human being was actively engaged (and lets go beyond the confines of just voting - because voting may or may not be a factual waste of a persons time) in whacking moles, might there still be a number of moles that overwhelm us?  Just how many tickets can we earn, what's our prize budget?

If you stay home and never take a swing at the moles, you can forget about prizes.
