But none of that changes what actually happens.
It sounds like you're complaining about the way we think about what happens, but that doesn't change what happens.
In this system, government is empowered by voters. Every elected official was elected. Power comes from the source that is an election.
You and I apparently agree that the voters are sadly ignorant, mind fucked even. All right.
But these mind fucked voters still actively grant the power and actively vote for the officials who get into office.
It doesn't mean it's right, or it's good, or there is a better option, or there is no better option, all of these are side questions.
This is the system we're working with now. If you have a better one for goodness sake, let's work on improving it, but it is the reality now.
