Quote by Robert J. Ringer
What in fact takes place in an election is that two hand picked candidates are propped up before the citizenry, each candidate having been selected by a very small group of politically active people. A minority of the people... then elects one of these hand picked people to rule itself and the majority.
Summary
This quote highlights the perception that elections can be manipulated by a small group of politically involved individuals who select and present candidates to the general public. It suggests that the citizenry often has limited options, as these candidates are predetermined and do not fully represent the diversity of opinions within society. The quote further implies that the minority of politically engaged individuals decides the ruler, potentially leaving the majority feeling unrepresented or unheard in the electoral process.
