		<description>In politics today, &quot;election&quot; across-the-board means &quot;vote.&quot;  Scholars have nonsensically called it &quot;Popular Elections&quot; in order to keep from calling it what it is, namely a gigantically overblown &quot;adultified&quot; version of what all high schoolers know as the POPULARITY CONTEST.  Where this PC is perfectly appropriate for the limited and low-impact high school setting where all the voters are adolescents, it is grossly inappropriate for adults.  In its natural setting, the election process does not serve to attract only chronic narcisists, whereas in the unnatural setting of politics that&#039;s virtually the only kind of candidate that can possibly win.  Politicians are well aware that the &quot;hand that feeds them&quot; is not the presumed voting public but, rather, the minority that is aple to keep them in office via their big money.  Hence, those mega-rich ones make up the republic-pretending OLIGARCHY that is presently carrying the USA Oligarchy into their long-awaited Global Oligarchy.  The Matthias story reveals the election system which is truly democratic, truly fair to all.  How much more democratic is every-age/residence-qualified and non-deferred citizen a first-hand CANDIDATE in every election as opposed to the current system which keeps every citizen a VOTER and thus one giant-step away from being patriotic?</description>
