you think they'd let us just :vote: for someone to be able to access everything

I don't know about "everything," I'm sure there's plenty of stuff that's kept kind of need to know, so even the president would have to articulate to some bureaucrat why they want to look at it, but they probably know the most out of any individual person.

Plus, they don't just let us vote in anyone. The elections are carefully rigged so that the only people who can possibly "win" are people who don't even pretend to support any popular policies.
