Why does everyone keep voting for idiots only to start protesting their idiotic policies shortly after. It should not be news to anyone who can read that all of this including the corruption is exacly what Babis stands for*

Why does everyone keep voting for idiots only to start protesting their idiotic policies shortly after.

Not the same people.

The problematic part is not spending quality time with neighbors and friends before the election to make sure that somebody is elected who is good for the country.

Because it’s not “everyone” who vote for these idiots. In pretty much every single country there’s a clear pattern: the less educated and more isolated rural people vote for like-minded politicians, who tend to do a shit job. Then the more educated and less prejudiced urban people get upset and start protesting.

I did not mean “all voters” but “every fucking country” recently with everyone.

well, if 51% do vote for them, they win but, that leaves potentially an unhappy 49%, which is a lot of people.
