Results from poll after poll since 2010 were clear. The US government
did not have the consent of the people. Why can't the US government

Are the people answering the question somewhat traitorous or foolish ?

Stop cutting out my responses and maybe we can talk.

Many people in the USA are fools. I am sure many Chinese in the PRC are
too.

What about you?

I am not the issue here.
If you feel uncomfortable with the survey results, feel free to dispute
the results. Calling the people foolish, however, is not the way to go.
Is there evidence that those who did not think the US government has
consent of the governed are fools?
Answer: ZERO.
In addition, if the surveys were improperly done, other organizations
would jump in and prove the survey results wrong. And US democracy would
then be saved. Unfortunately, no other organization has dare to touch
the issue yet.
Democracy means people rule; not people vote. Ritualistic voting once
every few year per se would not lead to democracy.
