I've long wondered why this oh-so-blatantly-obvious fact is so hard to grasp for so many. Right alongside the oft-ignored fact that your favorite politician couldn't care less about you as an individual, or as a group, except insofar as your existence as a statistic (your vote) gives them access to more power and / or money.
