13. Um...popularity equals winning an election in our democratic system.

No, It may not always be a necessary factor in real life, but it's kind of integral to how we choose our elected officials.

Now are you going to tell me that no person who ever won an election is deserving of it?

BTW, I will ignore the palpable condescension.
