For those who believe that the US is a democracy in the sense that public policy is an aggregate of public opinion, how do you deal with the fact that 42% of the US population don't know that Obamacare is actually law?
If the population doesn't even know about the easy facts, how do you expect a democracy in which public policy is driven by public discourse to work?
Note that this isn't particularly specific to the US. The situation is pretty much the same in every country, AFAIK.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
