You are correct there’s lots of them but you have no idea how quickly public knowledge can deworm a situation.

If the current faction v faction shenanigans stops and 1/10th of the shenanigans was put forward to shareable research these people would be voted out. Probably even quicker their stances would change.

That’s the issue with faction v faction. Everyone claims they support their puppet on top but nobody actually knows who their factions leader stands with.

In the process the entire lower portion and middle fight each other while only the top survive. Meanwhile both sides at the top have been on the same side the entire time.
