    That is the problem with representative democracy when each rep accounts for nearly a million citizens. You’re at the whims of such a massive voting base. Name recognition is pretty much the only thing that matters at that scale.

    It’s like modern marketing and advertising. Half the time, they don’t even say anything about their service. They just want you to remember the name and recognize the logo if you see it in a store.
