His rants are far from standard "idiot conspiracy theorist", since they are actually fact based. What he is missing/neglecting is a fundamental knowledge about why Senate and Congress are build up differently, and why governments is normally not based on popular referendums item for item. But his questions are good talking points, and the story about how the US multimillionaires are having a direct and deciding role in your democracy is true.
Don't forget to turn out the lights if your the last one out.
