Our representation is unhealthy because people are fucking ignorant. They don't take an active interest in politics, and they don't put any real sincerity or effort into making the right political choices. You're right to say that the line between a vote and a real political outcome has been clouded by corruption and money, because it has... but that has just as much to do with corruption at the top as it does with decay at the bottom.

You can not have a healthy state with an ignorant electorate. It got this way because people were too fucking stupid to run the system properly. One nice thing about our system is you can't blame all your problems on the elite without looking like an ass, because the only way it got that way is because you fucked up your duty as a citizen and let a nice, semi-functional republic-system become a real oligarchy.

Yet you probably think you're speaking in everyone's best interests when you want to throw a brick at the establishment. When someone like you feels like they need to opt out of the system just because they aren't getting their way, that just undermines everything. I think a more fair and a more effective use of your time would be to encourage other people to speak in their own best interests until the system works again, instead if chimping out like a god damned somalian.

This is extremely optimistic. The problem is that everyone will always be ignorant. Read Mancur Olson for a good description of how government is always owned by special interest groups.
