Is that "we geeks" as in "you can't be one of us if you do care about politics?" Don't get me started!
One of the problems in western democratic society (and, I suspect, much of the so-called civilized world) is the governed abdicating their rights to monitor and control the government. The power to vote effectively means nothing in such a society. So in America today it's certainly "of the people", but it's definitely not "for the people".
