"How can democracy function if 84% [NJ] believe elected officials are corrupt?"
prospect.orgPer the article:
> Kim cited a 2023 survey of New Jersey voters where 84 percent agreed that state politicians are at least “a little” corrupt
The options in the survey were:
* Not at all corrupt * A little corrupt * Somewhat corrupt * Very corrupt * Not Sure/Don’t Know [Vol] * Refused [Vol]
Honestly I don't find that particularly damning. Nobody's perfect.
1. It can't. 2. It never has. 3. It's not supposed to.
ive always wondered how democracy functions for so long when you cant unelect officials that are tacitly corrupt.
Everyone is by default "unelected" after a legislation period and you need to reelect them if they should stay elected. So you could, your fellow citizens just don't have the same opinion as you.
that's what guillotines are for
