I love watching all the media effort and all the money being spent to turn public opinion, while so many of that very public try to convince us that our opinions don't matter
Studies show that our opinions don’t matter. BBC, 2014: [Princeton & Northwestern] Study: US is an oligarchy, not a democracy
So they're spending billions on influence campaigns for fun? Yeah, that makes sense.
