It's a really tricky thing. On the one hand, it seems like the common man should have some way of holding shitty leaders accountable. On the other hand, voters are easily manipulated by media, and it's easy to just block out candidates from funding and exposure if the system doesn't like them. It almost seems like we shouldn't have elected leaders but should have some sort of harsh penalties like death or exile when they are being corrupt. I don't know how to implement that, though.

It’s an incredibly difficult balancing act. Likely was never going to work on the scale we have nowadays.
