Of course it is. All true political power lies far outside the political system, in the realms of the financialized capital and the big computers. You are a middle class commoner, you have no political power at all. To remind you of that fact, you are forced to participate in so-called "elections", mass rituals where all the commoners symbolically surrender their personal rights and freedoms to a pre-selected "president" who then robs them blind. You feel guilty when you miss the ritual. Your fellow middle class commoners call you stupid for missing the ritual and warn you that Hitler and his Wehrmacht rise from their graves like Jesus when you miss the ritual. The ritual is very important. Don't miss the ritual. You need to defend democracy against Hitler and his Wehrmacht.
