T-Rex: Let's say you set up a democracy where anyone can become its leader! NOT A BAD IDEA, RIGHT?? Lots of people love a democracy.

T-Rex: Surprise! You leave yourself open to a megajerk being the one in charge!

T-Rex: So you're like, okay dang that's true, maybe we should use COMPUTERS to make a democracy where everyone votes on everything. That's fair, right? Except ruling by consensus sucks, because there ARE such a thing as experts, and there exist unpopular opinions that are nevertheless correct. Plus, who cares about most things?? I don't want to CARE about farm subsidies, much less have to vote on them!

Utahraptor: My most sincere wish is to just make it through this life never caring about farm subsidies.
T-Rex: Right??

T-Rex: So if "everyone votes on everything" sucks, and "everyone votes for guys who then decide everything" sucks, what's left?
Utahraptor: Muddling through as best we can with flawed systems and compromises that satisfy nobody??
T-Rex: Yaaaay
