    Saying “The people voted for this” sounds logical but the reality on the ground makes the statement wholly disingenuous.

    It’s not. There’s no other way to have a govt “for the people” than to hold an election.

    it functions as a thought-terminating cliche and provides cover for a class of power who continuously work to keep this set of circumstances cemented in place.

    That may be but it doesn’t make it untrue.

      Seems like you didn’t really absorb anything that I wrote. Fortunately selectively quoting my comment doesn’t make the rest of it go away, you can always go back and read it again.
