Srsly tho, even the ancient greeks knew that voting-based elections are nothing more than popularity contests / reality TV, and that just because someone is good at getting votes doesn’t mean they know anything about running a country. And that the person with the most resources is gonna win elections because they have media control.
Like imagine how terrifying it’d be if doctors got their job by election instead of going to school and learning medicine. Ancient greeks debunked bourgeois democracy before it even got invented.
When was this ever not reality TV?
