The saddest thing is that people rush to vote and be lied to by politicians that spend 3.5 years bickering, getting courted by lobbyists and ignoring all their pledges to the people.

We call it democracy, proudly wear pins saying "I Voted!" and shame on you if you ever criticize it.

When I'm feeling cynical, I share the same view:

If you voted for the winner, and you don't like what they're doing, it's your fault for voting for them.

If you voted for the loser, and you don't like what the winner is doing, you need to shut up and accept the result of the vote.

If you didn't vote, that's your own fault for not participating.

The CGP Grey videos on The Rules for Rulers actually makes me less cynical about all of this.
