akuperma,
“Then why do people opposed to “LOBBYISTS, CORPORATIONS, AND INTEREST GROUPS” frequently win elections.”
Because it sounds good, and talk is cheap.
“The results of elections in many countries show that the anti-elites frequently win.”
The problem is, “elites” is a euphemism for “my opponents”. For example, can you name a US president in modern times who can really reject the label “elite”? Or who won without any support from lobbyists, corporations, and interest groups?
“This suggests that those arguing that the government stinks are likely to really be complaining that they were outvoted and they are just sore losers”
I don’t think so.
