It was clear that while Palpatine valued building Anakin toward being his apprentice and using his feelings for Padme...he absolutely found Padme to be a big thorn in his side, and she most certainly had a target on her back, and Palpatine was probably happy she died (if he didn't help nudge that along through sith magic). Sadly while she made efforts to do the right thing, she just like the Jedi was blind to the actual threat and often only accidentally hindered or slowed Sidious's plans... at least in the short term.

Another simple and completely avoidable event that occurred in Season 3 of the Clone Wars and greatly affected galactic history would be Palpatine ordering Dooku to kill Ventress. The fallout of this event radically changed the histories of Dathomir, Mandalore, the criminal under world, the Clone Wars as a whole, and likely even the Rebellion.

Came for the Star Wars. Stayed for the comparison to real life

Honestly one of my favourite episodes of the series especially on a chronological rewatch with it sandwiched within all the politics of season 3.

Like you said, humans are a highly social creature. And we are very selfish as well. Because as social creatures our own survival still takes precedence (selfish act of self preservation), and our social group help to keep us alive (again preserving the self). So the most selfish thing somebody can do is to be social creature, help your neighbors, be kind, be considerate, be tolerant. As a healthy, successful group helps to keep us alive, being social is the most selfish thing somebody can do. Just a positive by product is that it helps others which makes them more likely to help you. Therefore, the most selfish thing you can do.

I wouldn’t say Umbara was a useless battle to fight. It definitely could have been avoided, but in the end taking the planet was necessary for the war effort. It was needed for the Republic have access to major planets in that area like Kashyyyk. Regardless of how it happened, if the Umbarans seceded the battle of Umbara would have occurred.

Sadly the part about the politicians in the Republic being just ordinary citizens is flawed. Perhaps in the days of the Old Republic they would have been normal people, but by the time of the Clone Wars, most the senators were notoriously corrupt and even some senators were representatives of big businesses that became involved in government. For example, Lott Dod of the Trade Federation and all the representatives of the other major companies n the Confederacy Of Independent Systems like the Corporate Alliance, the Techno Union, the Commerce Guild, and of course the Inter Galactic Banking Clan or IGBC. All of them had bought seats in the Senate instead of earning them. And then there are those Senators who care only about their own world and not the worlds around them.

I think the Republic politics was a little more difficult. In real life domestic politics the stakes can be life and death, but ultimately survival isnt on the line per se. In Star Wars, a Senator represents the survival of an entire species.

Ultimately I think the Republic is too large and too unsustainable. I respect what you're saying.

The perception of the political system as being inhabited by people who are simply out for themselves is the least of our problems. The far more critical issue is the growing perception among the racial majority that the institutions of civil society are hostile to their people on a racial level. Unfortunately the current political culture allows little space for the peaceful redress of that racial group’s grievances.
