And why are politicians immune to all of this shit??

Why can’t WE spy on them 24/7?

If democracy really worked, and your desire to spy on politicians is shared by enough people, supposedly, you should be able to create your own party which has that explicit goal. Maybe find a few other goals, or you will end up like the pirates :-)

I am writing this because I don't think democracy works as advertised.

Because you are a slave, Neo.
