The value of a single vote in a mass democracy is so small that the rational voter will not spend much time and effort investigating whether the big promises of the politicians standing for election are realistic and do not clash with his other desires. Therefore, political campaigns do not aim to inform and educate, but to disinform and confuse. It is not the soundness of the program that is important, but the enthusiasm that a candidate can generate among his supporters and how well he can put down, denounce and humiliate his opponents. As a result, election campaigns provoke hatred, polarization, and retaliatory lusts.
Dear @zuerich , I agree with you!
