So you’re saying that if we have a phd in this we would be expected to know better?

Nah, I'm saying that Americans aren't taught about politics, they're lucky if they can make it through high school with a basic understanding of how the state is arranged.

A real education system would make American politics much less predictable, because it would empower Americans to shape their own future rather than merely being subject to corporate whims.
