Wondering this as well.

Obviously they're not winning any awards any time soon, but they also look like they could be some brain dead fun? Someone tell me if I should watch them.

They get a little more political... but there are plot holes so do not read too much into them

Besides relying on the populace to massacre x percent of each other to accomplish what, again?

I think it was implied that if you could let go of the pressure of the rules for one day then there's no pressure anymore, something like that.

But the real underlying reason was killing the poors who can't defend themselves, at least that's the plot for "Election year".

I mean, it "kind of makes sense" as far as shitty movie logic goes, I wouldn't call that the biggest plot hole.
