Lol, the crowd making big decisions. Genius idea.
It has worked well up to now? Really does that sound like a genius idea? The means the dumb down masses will decide what get's in and what gets elected. Which means the dumbest product will get to the top. Think McDonalds. Do you think the crowd is qualified to decide who should be a success? Do they have good taste?
It's not hard to get the mainstream masses on your side. You just have to lie to them and tell them what they want to hear. They fall for it every single time. This is the system you want to see.
