No, I mean that the wisdom of the crowds is, well, not.
Good democracy rests on voters making intelligent/rational/etc decisions (implied: otherwise why let them vote?) I think more of my liberal friends now see that this is largely wishful thinking.

I don't think the crowds are necessarily wise, just powerful.
