Elections and Democracy

I understand that elections and Democracy are important but what I don’t understand is why it is such a big deal. For example, in US, a quarter of a presidents term is centered on being re-elected while on the second term they try maintain status quo. Trump was campaigning for a whole year.
Here at home, everything this year is centered on elections. It has almost become an economic activity. Not sure when campaigns officially started but before that, funerals and fundraisers were popular with politicians.
Companies are not hiring because of elections, people are moving or going back to ancestral homes because of elections, everyone wants to become an MCA/MP like politics has become a career choice and not a calling like it should be. A youth like mzee mzima could say he wants to be an MCA when he grows up.

Is there an alternative to this madness?

Alafu as soon as these elections are done and the losers cry kimeibiwa for like 6 months, all the attention will shift to 2022. We never live in the moment.
