gollark: Why?
gollark: It's an extreme example which hopefully maybe provides insight into a more realistic case.
gollark: Fascinating.
gollark: If you just doubled the number of people "involved in politics" by some loose definition by taking arbitrary random people, would this actually improve the political situation? I would be surprised if it did; I don't think most have some sort of unique original contribution, but just go for participating in shouting louder at other groups.
gollark: Possibly true but not very relevant.
