 a democracy functions best when people outside of the system's influence can
 cast ethereal votes which do not mechanically impact the results, but still
 signal their interest and desire.

However, when a system constantly produces a different outcome than the one it is "intended" for then it's perfectly reasonable to assume the actual intention is the outcome it continues to produce.
