I mean, this but unironically. What happens when your elected representatives are stripped of their political authority? What point is there in going through the motions of a vote when an appointee or a lifetime judge can overrule it? How much power do democracies have in a society that's been privatized and commodities to the Nth degree?
Yep. If you try to play by the rules, you'll end up finding out you can do nothing at all.
