But who operates the machine :O :O :O
The machine is set up in such a way that this does not matter. It only turns to the right.
Alternatively, when Democrats (rarely) control Congress, it's by a hair, nearly 50/50. When Republicans control Congress it's much closer to 55/45.
This is largely what leads to the rachet effect.
