Back when I was getting my Master's in Political Science, I was a firm believer. Fast forward several years, I find it inherently flawed for different reasons than what your quote explicitly says.

Oh, you're talking to me, right? Ya, I love that quote, it's about reality but lots of ppl still think there's democracy and that their vote or who's in office counts for something lmao. Would love to hear from you in another thread why you think it's flawed. Anyway, it's from Wall Street when Gekko was giving one of his many sermons to Budd.
