In most elections, the majority of the people don’t vote. 2008 was an odd exception, but even then the nonvoters appear to hsve eked out a plurality.
So, that being said, it kind of flies on the face of the “logic” that says the majority is stupid, low information etc. when they had enough common sense to stay away from the polls.
So....OK....if everything is fixed by the uninterested staying away from the polls, then why is everything so screwed up?
I can tell you why..
Because far more than 50% of the populace in this country is not really qualified to be voting..
Plato called this issue as a impossible problem a very long time ago.
Hell, it doesn’t even matter that the majority of voters don’t REALLY matter anyway.
Once those ‘magic numbers’ tally correctly, the rest of the voting public might as well just turn around and go home.
We see enough of it where some prospects drop out because of Iowa and New H., as if their ‘gotta be 1st’ votes are a litmus test for the rest of the country.
Sorry, but neither party is interested in the People, nor fair and honest elections. Else, they would be ensuring ALL People are heard: single day voting across the board (no pandering, no funny-voting), random debate positions (not just ‘popular’ vs. ‘popular’. And, I mean DEBATES, not the crap these days), ensuring donations/etc., allow lobbying but only those that can pull the lever get to donate (no unions, no PACs, no international, no..)
Nor does the Judiciary, knowing where their bread is buttered, with their blind-eye to ‘Equal Under the Law’ (Congress exempted), NEVER citing the Constitution (merely 1910+ ‘precedent’) or the latest BS of ‘standing’
