It's far more complex and nuanced than, "Fuck the public." This feels like you're unironically parroting the sentiment shared by George Carlin-- in a comedy stand-up special.
The public needs to make better, more informed voting choices, but the system is corrupt, full of dirty money, and frankly kind of rigged. Our current way of electing representatives is outdated at best and undemocratic at worst.
We need to switch to ranked choice voting and get money out of politics.
