Saying "The people voted for this" sounds logical but the reality on the ground makes the statement wholly disingenuous.

It's not. There's no other way to have a govt "for the people" than to hold an election.

it functions as a thought-terminating cliche and provides cover for a class of power who continuously work to keep this set of circumstances cemented in place.

That may be but it doesn't make it untrue.

I don't think you're really addressing what I wrote. I'm not saying it's untrue in a strict sense. I'm saying it's a disingenuous point. A misleading framing. An uncritical, not entirely applicable, and wholly unhelpful approach to our political issues.
