The Federal Government and most Government is exactly the problem. Whether or not it was a Dem/Repub/Independent/Green in the White House "overseeing 350million people" isn't the point, the point is that it is impossible to correctly do almost anything for one person overseeing that many people.
You could have the best person and smartest person in the world doing the job of being a President, it still isn't feasible to expect one person to correctly make so many decisions.
Most State Governments are too big too and don't make any sense. Once you start having one person in charge of more than a few thousand people it largely stops making any sense. Power/greed/corruption takes over.
All political parties in the USA are corporations. They are literally classified as corporations. We vote for figure heads of a corporation to oversee is and run us like a corporation. They also in turn take bribes from other corporations to write laws that favor them.
It is mafia style illegitimate the whole way up and down.
