This article is two months old by the way.
Another link from !@queermunist@lemmy.ml focusing more on American politics but this one is much older. "The preferences of the average American appear to have only a miniscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy.”
We’ve had proof since 2015 when Princeton published a study showing that "The preferences of the average American appear to have only a miniscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy.”
That’s why we call it the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie.
This disturbing and important article is quoted in the news article above. The ‘news’ aspect of this one is that it is (but seems to be to a lesser extent) also partly true for european countries.
Yeah I remember reading that article. I just wanted to find a more recent one to remind people of this.
Edit: I like how accessible the article and video makes it so I am going to put it in the description.
