That's how democracy works, and how it should work, as long as those
politicians are *chosen by the people* (rather than appointed by other
politicians).
If people choose idiots to govern them, they can only blame themselves.
A completely different question is if those idiots got there by means
other than by having been voted by the people. That's *not* democracy
anymore.
