> The Greeks already figured out thousands of years ago that the best way to implement democracy was via random selection. The greeks ( socrates/plato ) figured out that democracy was a terrible form of government. Then again, the greeks did vote for socrates to drink hemlock. > everything people think they know was told to them by the corporate-controlled media Is there anything sweeter than fox news, a "news" company owned by an australian, railing against foreign influence in american politics? > They're so sure it's all legit, they'll viciously argue their candidate's position as if they were a family member they knew personally. At this point, I'd prefer we ban campaigning and silly staged debates altogether. Just have each candidate post who their masters are and then let the people vote off that. It's far more value to the voter if they knew who the politicians owe their allegiance to than empty campaign promises.
