[Bernard Marx]

I agree the powers of incumbency and compliant liberal media are huge problems. But in a democratic republic it's the the people's responsibility to inform themselves and demand needed reforms at the ballot box.

Government schools run by self-interested unions have dumbed the electorate down. Yet there has never been a time in the history of mankind that so much information has been available to voters, literally at the touch of a button. But people are mentally lazy and politicians use that fact to their own advantage. Huge numbers of Americans don't even bother to vote. And thus we get the government we deserve.

Well I can't argue with that.

Its just that, given how the system has been rigged and human nature being what it is, I don't see how it can be any different.
