I didn't intend for this to be a 100% thing, I think there are a decent number of people who are probably a lot more well informed than I am, but when the large majority of voters opinions are so easily manipulated as to effectively be for sale, then what the hell is the point? It's not much different than an oligarchy, but it's made a bit better because our overlords have a lot of hoops to jump through the keep the show running.
