Popularism.
The most entertaining, or the most popular response/idea by the subset of the population that is surveyed, and from that a subset, responds, wins out.
It’s not about what is true - but what is agree upon. We might very well agree that chocolate is the most healthy thing to eat, but of course - the truth, dies with that consensus if the idea is treated as objectively true.
This is problematic when people voting on things are not making informed decisions, either through ignorance or arrogance.
It’s a culmination of how the Dunning-Kruger effect affects the lives of others.
