We live in an era with a big problem: Regular people have an attention span that's way too short to ingest enough information to vote effectively for very large issues.
This leads to the politicization of everything as a means of persuading people using wit or by demonizing the other side, because those methods are effective.
Combine this with very interested parties spreading disinformation, and we are in big trouble.

And I believe people will organize to vote for the money.
