I will help you a little bit PK.....you sound like the guy at the table who keeps raising after the flop for a runner runner flush.....it could happen. You see in a democracy votes count. Polls and runner runner hope do not mean a thing. Sometimes they line up to votes, but more often than not votes for elected officials are not simplified to a single issue but a platform and context.
Democracy is working just fine. President Obama won in a near landslide. The American people despite you arguing he was born in Kenya, and that he should be impeached for the alleged lies of Benghazi.....he got actual votes....not innuendo on issues, not polls, but real votes. Votes matter. Policies matter to the victors.
Now foreign nations are dumping tens of millions of dollars into our media to tell America that our interests are the same as Israel. It is good propaganda. Obviously people have been influenced by the propaganda and think Iran is going to bomb America with a nuclear weapon. I see an ad about once an hour. It has been non stop for over a month. So polls can be influenced by foreign money pouring into our media. However, those folks who actually got the votes.....well they are making decisions which are best for America. President Obama won the election, and he won on the Iranian deal. Votes matter. They have consequences in a democracy....as to polls being what runs a democracy.....I will be teaching a seminar on the same and will give you a link to help......but we both know you have no use for democracy or my ideas on the same. Do you think your fuedal system runs by polls?
