Lobbying isn't nearly as big of a problem in other countries. Your problem starts in the ballot box when you let your politicians elect themselves with mail in and electronic electronic voting machines. When they don't need you to get elected, they will instead sell themselves to the highest bidder.
- sicromoft 5y agoCan someone please downvote this nonsense conspiracy theory? Would rather not feed the troll beyond that.
- bmn__ 5y agoHolding elections on voting computers that are by definition unverifiable and the effect being a loss of confidence in voting is not a conspiracy theory. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25401222 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25401222
- sicromoft 5y agoI agree. But that's not what the commenter said. They claimed that U.S. politicians are electing themselves via fraudulent votes. That's a conspiracy theory.
