“So, in real-world democracy, well-informed citizens are politically at the mercy of their irrational and ignorant fellow citizens. Knowing this, politicians and officials strategically cater to majority irrationality, and, once in power, they govern for the sake of gaining reelection.”
Robert B. Talisse, Overdoing Democracy: Why We Must Put Politics in its Place
