    It iS doing just that, though, with the added “bonus” of helping a heinously oppressive ethnostate kill and starve innocent civilians.

      Yeah, but you have to got through hoops to maintain a veneer of a democratic and meritocratic system. Not for those who care to pay any attention to what’s going on, just good enough to keep those who rather not pay attention to that. And you don’t even need a majority to believe it, or even the majority within a party: just enough that people can be convinced that at least a majority within one party believes it.
