Is it though?
If you look at a less "localized" instance: Donald Trump arguably won the election because he was actually more in tune with the dissatisfaction of a significant portion of America than pretty much all other political candidates.
Sure, this might not be for the benefit of America in the long run, but the idea that unimportant things made a man president of the United States is ridiculous.
The key points he built his campaign on are obviously very important to many people, and a political campaign is just networking at scale (like any other advertisement).
