It's because a significant portion of our population are complete dumbasses.

One third of the country are bigots believing every piece of propaganda.

One third of our country doesn't think politics affects them.

10-15% (ballparking) have good political intentions, but don't think voting will solve anything.

That leaves about 20-25% to actually contribute politically with critical thinking skills and understanding various social issues.

Yeah we're fucked.
