I disagree that it's the fault of anyone other than the process we've established. It's only a recent belief that democracy is a process for everyone to participate in. I personally think Locke and Rousseau were the two best early political theorists, and they would never have considered democracy a viable system if they knew people as poorly educated as most Americans are were enfranchised. The system collapses upon itself as poorly educated people vote their own pocket books and consistently fall for frauds. That's just inevitable when you build a system that's susceptible to it.
