There is so much truth to the saying "The People Get The Government They Deserve". The government of SF only exists in it's current state because the majority of voters in SF chose them.
- CrackerNews 4y agoI have an issue with that sentiment because people do not directly vote for policies. They indirectly vote for a representative to enact policies, and the viable ones are backed by mass party apparatuses. Here, the Party's interests overrides the People's and dominate the political discussion. The Party is backed by a large network of corporate lobbyists. It's really that corporate personhood gets the government they deserve.
