When you realize that in a democracy the poorest don't vote at all and that we are represented by millionaires, it all seems so pointless to vote.
Self determination my ass.
It seems like too many people only have ideals about politics when those ideals result in everyone agreeing with them. Otherwise the whole thing is a rigged scam and not worth the time.
I'm sure that the non-elected technocrats wouldn't be susceptible to the "represented by millionaires" problem that you bemoaned about earlier.
