That doesn’t conflict with 100% bullshit, it only states how the bullshit is split up: 90% just for show, which is annoying, but mostly harmless, and 10% as actual policy. And that’s the bad part.

The separation between ordinary or even poor people and politicians is actually paper thin. I know, I cross it regularly. The main barrier is just showing up for whatever boring political thing.
Less boring political events are full of people who love to criticise but clearly have never bothered with the details themselves, so I admit I’m finding this exchange this a little sus.
