You highly overestimate the people who are in position of power.
I am talking about politicians, head of terrorist groups, etc.
While saying that top politicians are complete idiots is probably wrong - then again maybe not, I am not sure anymore - the fact that H. Clinton, run the most expensive campaign in history, with backing from all major tech corps AND her staff didn't bother to use encryption at any scale, let alone running a mail server (God knows what kind of software the server was running if it was OpenBSD or Windows Server 08), to me says a lot about how flawed the understanding of these people and their consultant's is about today's world.
Watching "House of Cards" everybody seems incredibly smart, driven, etc. but the politicians I see in real life on average and on the not-very-smart side and the few I've met in person are clueless beyond salvation.
Ps. Sorry for possible mistakes, I'm reading from mobile.

- michaelbuckbee 9y agoI've always heard that while House of Cards might be more "serious" that Veep is actually much closer to real life. Veep has politicians making stupid mistakes on Twitter. Life and death decisions decided on a whims and just absurd amounts of pettiness.
- marek995 9y agoI think "Borgen" is far more realistic when it comes to politics, the "shadow play" and intricacies
- skinnymuch 9y agoHaha good points. Thankfully savvier viewers and/or just people in general know House of Cards is all show and not realistic even though it acts like it is with its seriousness.
